THE MOVIE \u2014 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Childhood friends Lily (ANYA TAYLOR-JOY) and Amanda (OLIVIA COOKE) reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily is now a polished, upper-class teenager; Amanda has turned into a sharp-witted outcast, with no emotional core, with an attitude. Though they seem at odds, the pair bonds over Lily\u2019s contempt for her oppressive stepfather (PAUL SPARKS), and they begin to bring out one another\u2019s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler (ANTON YELCHIN) and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Thoroughbreds<\/em><\/strong> is one of the more chilling movies I\u2019ve come across not only this year, but in a long while. This dark comedy features what has to be two of the better rising stars of the next generation in Olivia Cooke, who captured my attention on Bates Motel<\/em>, and Anya Taylor-Joy fresh off of her star-making turn in Split<\/em> with New Mutants<\/em> and Split<\/em> sequel Glass<\/em> coming up. The two actresses brilliantly play off one another, though Cooke stands out due to her character\u2019s lack of emotions, though Amanda gets by mimicking others.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d be remiss not to mention Anton Yelchin in, I believe, his finale film and although it is a small part (maybe 10-15 minutes of screen time), he really had a wonderful range from thoughtful drama to off kilter comedy; really a shame we won\u2019t get any more from such a talent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Along with the two young stars, the atmosphere created by writer\/director Cory Finley, who originally conceived this as stage play, was fantastic. He utilizes every aspect of the mansion where the movie primarily takes place, going so far with a one-shot sequence and takes advantage of a well done sound design, one key part that plays into the quiet yet still white-knuckle finale, of course don\u2019t want to spoil it here, but absolutely effective.<\/p>\n

In the end, Thoroughbreds<\/em><\/strong> was a fresh of chilling air in what has otherwise been a kind of bland year with few exceptions. The performances from the core cast were amazing all around and this is absolutely worthy of a rental at the very least.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
