In a straightforward approach, let me rephrase the given text:
The first act clearly sets up that the movie delves into themes of parenting and intergenerational trauma. The protagonist, Blake (Christopher Abbott), is visiting his late father’s house, where he harbors intricate emotions. He is striving to be a better father to his daughter Ginger (Matilda Firth), given that his career-driven wife Charlotte (Julia Garner) doubts her own parenting abilities. However, Blake is cautious about his overprotective nature as a parent, recognizing it could potentially become its own problem. The script by Whannell and Corbett Tuck is quite explicit in addressing these themes; fortunately, since most of the film’s dialogues involve explaining these ideas to an 8-year-old girl, being direct isn’t necessarily unrealistic. Nevertheless, the tendency for explanation over demonstration, and the lack of creativity or fulfilling resolution when the movie transitions into action sequences in the third act, might contribute to why this “Wolf Man” doesn’t deliver the emotional resonance you’d expect.
