This is film-making at its absolute finest. Technically superb, nuanced, divine casting, colour, light, humour. It enthralled me. If you are tired of Hollywood's wndless 'kill conquer rinse repeat' format, watch this film with people you love.

With incredible acting talent and beautiful cinematography, a potential classic eventually presents as a shocking disjointed puzzle that even the director's mother would disavow. What happened? I guess it proves that fund raising for film (pre Covid) trumps ensemble talent: The editing is a plane crash from the start to the end. The director should have expected a lot more. Thanks for trying.

So much talent, so much effort. So disappointing. The title. Expectations of a modern retake on a classic fairytale. False expectations from the get go. Its a fusion product fuelled by the marketing department. A lame attempt to ride the werewolf craze in catch up with the vampire (romance) craze.

I have to acknowledge the first rate acting. The cinemAtography. The technocal side of this movie is first class.

This isn't an inquest. (It could be). Its a requiem. I am sure this killed reputations and careers in the production ranks.

The plot was Byzantine, obscure even infantile.

I am sure that 'Red Riding Hood II' (a fusion production with Fast and Furious and Riddick) will press all my buttons.

In the meantime, we have Margaux.
