Thoroughbreds (2018)

I didn't know what to make of Thoroughbreds when I first saw the trailer, but went last night and I am happy to report it is worth it. SO worth it!

Thoroughbreds (2018)

I don't want to bore you with a summary of what it is about. That's why I always include a link, silly. Instead I say this- buy a ticket and here's my short plug: Thoroughbreds is darkly comical, psychologically twisted, and clever from start to finish. It's layered with subtext on wealth, class, and privilege, wrapped in the always popular "things are never quite as they seem behind mansion doors".  The performances of the two leads, Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy is worth the ticket price. Director Corey Finley gives us a movie where he shows just what we need to see, letting our mind fill in some of the blanks and guess at what may or may not be happening. I won't get extra nerdy and talk too much about camera work but shot after shot I was marveling at some of the choices. Plus the score is unnerving and perfect for keeping you off balance the whole time you are piecing things together.

So, seriously, go see this!
