Characters' stagnation inevitably follows their thoroughly functional role in the story, the character-driven story, by the way. The illusion of the development is nothing more than a gradual accumulation of exposition, of which poorly disguised coarseness can be compared to a pretentious facade of the movie itself covering its vapidity.

It's a little slow but the patient pace eventually fits really nicely into the overall unnerving, dryly/darkly witty atmosphere (see the amazing slow-zoom one-take shot with Amanda sleeping on the couch). The leads are excellent, and their respective arcs revealed at the end were a nice surprise for a more mood-oriented film, even if they didn't feel quite justified. Wonderful cinematography and careful use of music and sound throughout add more artistic flair to this white-collar weirdness.

Strong dialogue, performance, and tone carries patient interest through most of the film’s length; the girls’ exchanges are a sardonic pleasure, supported by polished cinematography and sound. However, the lack of commitment to its arthouse ending leaves the whole feeling a little dichotomous; it’s as strongly done as the rest of the film, but of a different tone—almost to the scale of genre—and this inconsistency tripped up my enjoyment of the film a little.

A twisted tale about the unlikely friendship between two emotionally troubled young women that successfully infuses its thriller plot with black humor. Confidently directed and very well played.

The initial setup as a high-class coldblooded revenge drama is promising. Some of the black humour hits the right spot but mostly the latter part of the film fails to live up to the expectations it has set. Left me more disappointed than enthused by the film's few enchanting qualities.

An very dark comedy about two deranged rich girls. The subtle writing was very good and I liked how they used sound to set the mood. I quite enjoyed the quirky performances. unexpected plot turns and dialog. Some of the pacing was quite slow. Most of it was unusual, interesting and fun to watch, but the ending seemed a little cheap.

For a while there, I thought I was watching something intriguing and fresh, but then I realized this is just a pretentious hipster show-off about absolutely nothing genuine. Definitely not my kind of movie.

Good acting, good chemistry, good dialogue. I wish they leaned in deeper into the story and the potential setups or just kept talking more. A surprisingly clean movie given the subject matter..

Thoroughbreds' strength lies with the performances from Taylor-Joy and Cooke, and a script that is as contemplative as it is dark. The cinematography, pace, and sound are all well-curated to enhance the uneasiness in the direction the friendship takes. Unfortunately, I couldn't get on board with the characters' weak motivation, nor the film's celebration of friendship. Perhaps I was expecting more sardonic humour to balance the emotional drama.

Wow, was not expecting to like this one so much. The tone, the direction, the acting.. Everything hits a beautiful spot and character development is great. The subtle but great cinematography and pace really helps the story and characters without attracting much attention. A very good debut from Finley and great acting by all.

stilize yaklaşımı, karanlık yönüyle beraber sınıf odağını göz önünde bulundurunca tam isabet olması bekleniyor ama ton olarak yeterince isabetli değil konusuyla. bu açıdan heathers benzetmeleri anlaşılır ama heathers'a haksızlık. cooke, taylor-joy ve yelchin gayet başarılı. hatta çıkış rolleri düşünülünce cooke ve taylor-joy'u tam tersi rollerde görmeyi beklerken elde edilen harika bir casting başarısı da var.

This was a pretty impressive debut from writer/director Cory Finley. His confidence behind the camera was on screen, for sure. The story’s fairly simple, but not predictable, which I really enjoyed. The lead actors were both excellent, and I’ll never get tired of looking at Anya Taylor-Joy’s face. It was also really great to see Anton Yelchin again, but it’s always really sad, too - we lost a really unique actor. Anyway, the movie was dark & funny & sad & smart and I liked it a lot.

this kind of stuff is right up my alley. darkly fun concept, solid, at times great cinematography and the girls managed to up the ante by nailing their respective roles. hope to see more from finley. in hindsight, yelchin as a valet (a man who parks cars for a living) was a pretty messed up note to go out on.

It has an oppressive atmosphere and both leads do well with what they are given. The direction is great: a Hitchcockian sense of tension and suspense, solid usage of lighting and sound (seriously cool soundtrack) to build the mood. It even made me laugh a few times. And yet despite all the fantastic elements I did not love it. Technically efficient in all regards except its inability to make me care for them. At first I thought it was an interesting relationship but it lost me a bit.

The bone-dry THOROUGHBREDS is not the sardonic teen satire that its ads, its premise, and its meticulously curated series of costumes would suggest. At its core, the film is more HEAVENLY CREATURES than HEATHERS, unpacking a friendship that embraces an extreme level of honesty, with disturbing implications. Despite its terrific performances and assured direction, the movie can't quite nail its tricky tone, as its overpowering stolidity left me cold and temporarily blind to its strengths.
