Thoroughbreds Review (2018)

Thoroughbreds

  Every blue moon a film hits theaters that isn't quite like anything else. Introducing, Thoroughbreds. A psychological, teen thriller starring Olivia Cook, Anya Taylor-Joy, and the late Anton Yelchin. 

  What is it about? Well, it's about a wealthy, overly emotional girl who strongly dislikes her stepdad, and calls upon her extremely unemotional friend to plot out his murder.

  For starters, this is a very character driven story and it takes its time to get where it's going. Some may think the pacing is too slow, others might not. Either way, the performances are absolutely amazing and these talented girls keep your eyes glued to the screen the entire time.
  I enjoyed a LOT about this movie. From the production design, to the soundtrack, to the camera angles. It's an extremely stylish film that still manages to have substance.
  Thoroughbreds deals with themes of moral relativism, privilege, and the horrible things humans can do to each other when they lack empathy.
  It's a bold, pretty messed up movie, but it works, and you aren't likely to forget it even if you never want to watch it again. Thoroughbreds gets a 8 out of 10 stars from me. (I'd Buy It)
