Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector and co-writer Ethan Hawke first became interested in the works of Flannery O'Connor in his early teens, when he and his mother lived in Atlanta, Georgia and his mother worked selling textbooks to local colleges. Hawke read so much of O'Connor's works that he assumed she was as well known outside of his household as Abraham Lincoln.
- Quotes
Flannery O'Connor: If it is a symbol to hell with it. What people don't understand is how much religion costs. They think its easy. They think electric blanket and there it is the cross.

Featured review
Wildcat (2023) directed by Ethan Hawke is an attempt on creating a portrait of auguished writer, Flannery O'Connor. The lead actress, Maya Hawke (daughter of Ethan Hawke/Uma Thurman) takes a huge leap to portray the Lupus illed short fiction writer.
There are quiet, dreamlike moments in this film, giving insight to race and class through the writers and the Southern scenes. There's playful scenes of intertwining O'Connor's short stories with historical facts.
At the end, the scenery filmed in Kentucky, carries a strong narrative with a decent soundtrack, hoping to bring it to the finish line. The film become a little lost -- not knowing if it goes on a religious or spiritual route on O'Connor story or take a hard look at racism and class in the southern intellectual culture.
It's ending, shows an the tortured health of the writer continues and does the writing without knowing life's complexity, a maybe tribunal nod to the Catholic devout O'Connor.
