mikenow-511-400540 Cory Finley's 2017 film debut Thoroughbreds its a piece of refined craft and style which manages to merge between thriller and black comedy in a very satisfying way, creating a dark tonal pitch which is played along a smart and kinda sorkinian dialgue who takes us inside the conflicted and dysfunctional mind of its characters.The Style its the Golden Rule If anything can be said about this movie its probably that it has an amazing amount of style in each one of its elements, starting by the story itself: the tale of a young pair of millennial yuppies who are trying to get rid of a despisable rich man who happens to be the stepfather of one of them. Since the beginning of the movie you can feel that it's going to be a weird but funny journey Following by the characters: Two young sophisticated ladies both intricately strange, whose own motivation is to get away with their plan no matter what, the both have two particular affected psyches which makes them a hell of a pair. And finally the aesthethical: the aesthtetic factor is one of the most importants, since the first.shot you can see and hear that wonderful universe of the bourgeoisie, which is filled with flaws under his perfection-like mask. Here is 7 reasons to watch Thoroughbreds: 1. Good Story 2. Neat Cinematography 3. Sardonic Tone 4. Fantastic Costumes 5. Crazy Music 6. Pretty Decent Acting 7. Lots and lots of Style
amgee-89551 I was really impressed with this movie. It had great acting by Olivia Cooke & Anya Taylor-Joy. They are two of my favourite actress. I been a fan of Cooke since Bates motel season one. I been a fan of Taylor-Joy since I saw her amazing performance in the witch. She was definitely the best thing about the witch in my opinion. The cinematography was beautiful. It was dark and unnerving. Great directorial debut for Cory Finley. The black humour in the film was good. I'm glad I finally got around to watch it. It's in my top 10 best films of this year so far. I never got bored while watching it. All the characters was interesting. Anton Yelchin was really good in the movie. I wish he had more screen time. God rest his soul. The climax of the ending was quite dark. I would definitely recommend this film. Brilliant & well acted piece of cinema. 7/10
latinfineart Two young women, nearly completely lacking any sort of redeeming qualities, resort to some very stupid, non visionary, boring bits of tomfoolery. The only redeeming quality this film had was Anton's performance, the step dad's genuinely convincing creepiness, and black hearted attitude, and a few of the sets. Other than that, there is not much to like here. The direction was fairly competent. But, the story was poorly executed, and the writing was typical Hollywood these days, written for adolescents. Nothing to challenge the imagination or intellect. In the end, this was supposed to be a diabolical conclusion. It was more like, who cares? I could see this coming from eight miles away. Boring. Vanilla.
aoropallo-82985 This is the perfect movie... if you want to feel depressed. If you want to lose hope in humanity and the next generation, watch this movie.It's a story that my life would have been better not knowing.The plot is not unbelievable and the characters are clinically sociopathic.
