one major plothole
If he's wolf and she's a cat then how are they fugging? As far as i know interspecies attraction is not a thing amongst animals especially from two whole different species, if it is between the wolf and the dog then it might have been more believable.

See this for George MacKay
I've seen George MacKay in a few films and he has thus far always been an interesting actor, open-faced, intense and honest. All of that shines through here including some very fascinating, realistic, ominous, animalistic walking on all fours. It is clear he's put a lot of effort into this. Why though, is a puzzlement to me. This tale of people who believe they are other types of animals other than human is certainly unusual and apparently is a real though very rare thing called clinical lycanthropy, which is pretty much a mental disorder. What else would it be?! This film about a clinic with a group of these type of people is absurd that there would be enough of these cases to actually have a clinic and physicians trained to deal with them and some for a very long time. If you can somehow put that logic aside and look at this as some sort of flimsy sci-fi concept, it does hold one's interest due to the acting and the question of what this is leading to. While this is certainly MacKay's film, there is another talented young man in this, Fionn O'Shea, who also performs well along with an acting veteran, Paddy Considine, who is also not bad. However, my puzzlement remains. What did such talented people see in this project? I have no answer. If you not sure who George MacKay is, then watch the brilliant 1917.
