We The Animals is a drama about abuse, physical as well emotional abuse, about kids growing up and getting the wrong ideas about how life and relationships should be. It's also about selfishness, lack of parental control and kids growing up too fast. With those ingredients the movie had potential to be really good, but in the end it didn't match that potential. The acting wasn't bad though, that was actually a good thing about this movie. But the cinematography and camera work wasn't on top. Too much shaking camera shots, out of focus shots, and not the best work either whilst playing with the contrast between dark and light. That could all have been much better. The psychadelic drawings on the other hand were a nice touch to this movie. All in all it's not a bad movie but it just had so much more potential.
