2017 Directed by Cory Finley
Two teenage girls in suburban Connecticut rekindle their unlikely friendship after years of growing apart. In the process, they learn that neither is what she seems to be, and that a murder might solve both of their problems.
gotta say this live action adaptation of the barbie horse adventures video games got seriously intense
Forgot to log this one. Watched it on Blu-ray.
Really strong debut. Hope it gets some Spirit and Gotham love. Lyle Vincent is a great DP and this film looks beautiful. Strong performances by Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy.
RIP Anton Yelchin
AFI 2017: film #3
would you believe me if i told you that this was the funniest fucking movie i’ve seen all year? i’m in awe. definitely the most sickeningly fun time i’ve had in a theater in such a while. and honestly? it has the potential to be a cult classic. i absolutely adored this. heathers would be proud
If the past few months have taught us anything, it’s that not giving a shit about other human beings is the best way to get ahead in life. Empathy is a weakness. It’s a virtue, of course — and hopefully part of our natural condition — but it’s also a weakness. Empathy is one of the few things that money can’t buy, and the only thing that the rich can’t afford. “Thoroughbred,” Cory Finley’s delightfully vicious and mind-bogglingly confident first feature, is a pitch-black comedy about the danger of being around people of privilege when they first start to figure that out.
i support the main girl stabbing her shitty step dad to death but it felt off in places. messy dialogue at points too

The film didn't really go where I was expecting it to and was nicely done. The long shot was great. Both Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy had a very strong act. Not really my favourite kind of movie though.
“I live a meaningless life”
A movie about horse girls that act weirdly and do some bad shit. The best thing about this film is I now know a better way to cry on command. I talent I’ve always possessed.
Damn I love a crisp 90 minute film. Was engaged the whole way through. Pretty strong directing and writing from Finley.
Looks and sounds beautiful.
Also really liked that there was a giant sized chess game in the backyard.
RIP Anton

Lanthimos, Haneke y Hitchcock son referencias que veo en varias reseñas y pues si hay algo de eso, pero hay una o varias razones por las que no dejamos de escuchar esos nombres mientras que esta cinta y su director no me parecieron tan memorables.
¿Será este otro caso en que no conecto con una de adelescentes donde casualmente protagonizan mujeres? Inevitable mencionar mi reseña a "The Edge of Seventeen", en donde a grandes rasgos analizo lo que hace una película de adolescentes y eso me lleva a pensar que esto no lo es. Tampoco es un thriller, pero en fin.
Aquí tenemos a dos chicas de la alta sociedad y las escuelas mas exclusivas que se reúnen años después…
Se Anya Taylor Joy e Olivia Cooke cercassero di pianificare come uccidermi probabilmente li darei una mano. WE HAVE HERE THE FUTURE OF HOLLYWOOD.
Scavenger hunt #42 | Film 9
Task #26 | An Anton Yelchin film because I miss him
I saw people here refer to the characters as "horse girls" and while this concept isn't so common where I live, once in primary school when I was like 9 I met a girl who owned a horse. She had to send the horse to someplace in Europe for reasons unknown/unremembered, and she told me the horse would have to be fully tranquillised, and there would be a person sitting next to the horse with a loaded gun, and if the horse happens to wake up during the flight they'd shoot the poor thing dead. And she said it with such deadpan voice, and up until this very moment I've actually believed her?
So, this film basically.
