Blaise and Nessa are outcast methadone users in their small town. Each day they push a rusty lawnmower door-to-door begging to cut grass. Nessa plots an escape, while Blaise lingers closer to collapse. Tethered to one another, their getaway dreams are kept on a suffocatingly short leash.

At times uncomfortable to sit through but that's kind of the point. This isn't escapism, this is an unflinching look into the lives of two addict lovers. With minimal dialog, the camera lingers closely to catch every bit of acne, crooked and rotting teeth, soulless stare...really great cinematography.
I find the criticism that this movie is sad and depressing odd. Were people expecting a happy movie about two drug addicts living in poverty?Now I didn't feel as strongly for these characters as I did for a character like Richard Gere in Time Out of Mind. But I still felt for these guys. They were both portrayed decently by Gills and McNeil. Cinematography can be interesting at times and at other time it can be jarring. The camera focus being pulled away from the subject on to some background.
The sad, boring lives of a couple of methadone users in a small, Canadian town. Ashley McKenzie's "Werewolf" makes few concessions to its audience; almost nothing happens and McKenzie films it in a flat, dull style in muted, washed-out colours that mirrors the life of its protagonists, a spaced-out Andrew Gillis and a zombie-like, almost silent Bhreagh MacNeil who act as if they're making it up as they go along. This is a bleak and not very likeable picture but at 80 minutes at least it's mercifully short though while you're watching it you might think it will go on forever.
Do not waste your time watching it, it's not only bad and boring it's also depressing
