Thoroughbreds (2017)
8/10
Not your ordinary coming of age story
25 May 2018
Another one of those films where it is best not knowing too much about it before you see it to keep the experience as fresh as possible. For that reason, I am going to avoid writing about the plot and the rest. You will probably enjoy this if you are looking to see something different. Thoroughbreads is a nice blend of many things. It is funny, strange, a bit disturbing at times but thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely not your average coming of age story and it is real pleasure to see something fresh in this genre. The characters are very well written and two lead performances are fantastic. Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor Joy captured their characters perfectly and the chemistry between them is great. This is Cory Finley's directorial debut and it certainly does not feel like it since the film looks like it was shot by an experienced director. This is also Anton Yelchin last film performance before he tragically passed away and it is sad to see the great talent that the world lost. A film that I would definitely recommend.
