EIFF: To Kill A Wolf (15+)

A modern re-imagining of classic fable Little Red Riding Hood, this tightly calibrated film explores trauma, grief and redemption in a dangerous world. A traumatised young girl is discovered in the woods by a social pariah dealing with his own demons, set against snowy Oregon landscapes reminiscent of The Shining. Restrained and understated, this is a dark psychological drama featuring strong performances in which gradual insights and twists pack an emotional punch.
