Review of Fang

Fang (2022)

Fang Sinks Its Fangs In
8 December 2022
Reviews for Fang are likely to be divided between gut reactions and trying to explain what it's all about. I don't like to explain movies, so I'll speak about the emotional part.

I loved the acting of Dylan LaRay as Billy, the main character. You feel everything he goes through. Billy's full character is revealed gradually. By the end, you understand that his inner world is like a different planet or universe (the one where the creatures from his drawings live).

There's a memorable cast of supporting characters. Billy's mother (Lynn Lowry) is amazing, she's just fantastic, her acting pierced right through me. I still have doubts about what's going on in Billy's mind and what's happening in reality, but the formation of Billy is very closely connected with the behavior of his mother.

I really think the film crew did a great job, the cinematography is incredible! The script is well-written, with just the right balance between plot and character development. I felt so many different emotions while watching Fang, laughing at times, feeling scared, depressed, anxious about what was going to happen next, anguish and contemplation. Very few movies have that kind of effect on me. I can't get Fang out of my head!
