After its August 23 release, The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf seems to be a success with critics and fans. It now has a 100% Tomatometer and 90% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the majority of critics awarding it a high number of stars. The animation by MIR studio is praised in the majority of evaluations (Avatar: The Legend of Korra, Voltron: Legendary Defender). Graham McTavish and Mary McDonnell, two experienced performers, have also been praised for their performances. Some have criticized the film’s pace or attempt to tie it in with the live-action series, while many believe it succeeds due to the film’s length.

The 81-minute film follows a young Vesemir, who is known to Witcher fans as Geralt of Rivia’s future tutor. It starts with flashbacks that define his history, from his infancy through his transformation into a monster killer. Other characters are added to help fill out the narrative and create different arcs. The film concludes with a climactic fight after spending considerable time on Vesemir’s backstory and the history of the Witchers. Of course, like with most Witcher tales, there is a tragic element. There’s a lot of it throughout the film, as well as different body parts.

Nightmare of the Wolf, with its short self-contained storyline, is no replacement for a new season of The Witcher, but that’s all the better since it’s not trying to be. Sure, for those willing to seek, there are links to be made. Geralt’s background is hinted at by Vesemir’s, and it’s a fair bet that some of the people listed above will be referenced again later. Nightmare of the Wolf provides a gratifying glimpse into a world that has always felt larger than any one narrative by avoiding the urge to connect its destiny too tightly to Geralt’s (or any of the series’ major characters’, for that matter).
