Quand Anne et sa famille arrivent dans leur maison de campagne, ils s'aperçoivent qu'elle est occupée par des étrangers. Cette confrontation n'est que le début d'un douloureux apprentissage : rien n'est plus comme avant. Ce qui commence comme une histoire de famille devient vite un drame collectif. Mais c'est aussi une légende, donc l'histoire d'un sacrifice, donc une histoire de Saint. (Les Films du Losange)

So far, this is the weakest Haneke film I've seen. Unlikable characters navigate their dull struggles in an uninteresting post-apocalyptic world, occasionally engaging in tedious philosophical debates. I can't fathom why Haneke felt the need to make this. From a filmmaker of his caliber, I expected that if he ventured into this genre, he would bring something truly unique to the table. If his goal was to create an anti-sci-fi film, as I've heard, he definitely missed the mark. Comparing this to Tarkovsky’s Solaris, where space sci-fi is used to explore profound themes, the disparity is glaring. Tarkovsky managed to transcend genre boundaries – even if he claimed otherwise – and crafted something exceptional. He achieved this even more effectively in Stalker. Haneke’s Time of the Wolf doesn’t measure up; it contains some of his signature elements but ultimately fails to stand out in the post-apocalyptic genre. It ends up being just another ordinary entry, which is a huge missed opportunity for Haneke. A "post-apocalyptic film by Michael Haneke" sounds tantalizing on paper, but the final product feels like an undercooked, mediocre dish. I've seen far better post-apocalyptic films from much lesser directors. But hey, even the best make mistakes, and I forgive this misstep from the master.
