expresses the painful and confusing sexual yearnings of young girls.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He ends his review by noting that while this movie is &#8220;not for all tastes&#8221;, it&#8217;s &#8220;definitely worth a look&#8221; &#8212; and in the years since Peary&#8217;s <em>GFTFF<\/em> was published, it&#8217;s developed a cult following, as has his phenomenal thriller <em>The Crying Game<\/em> (1992) (which happens to be one of my top-ten personal favorite films &#8212; but my review of that will have to wait until I have time to resume writing about post-<em>GFTFF<\/em> must-see titles&#8230;) What most impresses me about <em>The Company of Wolves<\/em> (other than its incomparable other-worldly sensibility) is how strongly it empowers females: while Peary focuses on Patterson&#8217;s sexual development, I see this as primarily a movie about a girl daring to venture out into the (admittedly scary) world on her own, imagining the worst that might happen to a female at the hands of men (dealing with an insistent suitor; being attacked; being impregnated and\/or abandoned) and also how she might handle and survive such a fate. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities
