To make a good biopic, you need to leave the audience caring about the focal point of the film. Sadly, Wildcat did nothing to make me care about Flannery O’Connor (Maya Hawke). Although this is a subject both Hawkes (Ethan and Maya) are passionate about, that passion never translates to the screen. Instead, we have a film bogged down by religious undertones (and overtones) that ramble on in aggressive southern accents without saying anything particularly concise. The Hawkes are both clearly committed in their roles, but aside from a surprise cameo, they fail to turn that into an entertaining watch.
