Johannesnk I'm not sure this movie classifies as a comedy film. It's a light movie, but it's more serious than funny if you ask me. I really love this indie movie, and I watched it because of Anya Taylor-Joy. She did phenomenal and so did Olivia Cooke.More indie films like this! (:

CinemaClown A bland, bleak & boring black comedy featuring characters without redeeming characteristics and moments without emotional stakes, Thoroughbreds is more a bummer than a stunner, for all that's good about it is the splendid camerawork & good performances from its talented cast.The story follows Lily & Amanda, two upper-class teenage girls who rekindle their friendship after years of growing apart, only for it to bring out one another's most destructive tendencies. The two ultimately decide to get rid of their problem and enlist the help of a drug dealer to help them out.Written & directed by Cory Finley in what's his directorial debut, Thoroughbreds begins on a promising note, for there's tension & chemistry in the first interaction between our leading ladies. Finley does well when it comes to staging the scene & moving the camera around but the drama is just flat & dreary.Camerawork is smooth, seamlessly sliding through the finely polished set pieces & sumptuous locations. The deadpan humour hits the spot, but only in bits n pieces. Editing fails to make the ride more riveting and while it allows the plot to simmer at its own pace, there are no rewards to reap in the end for taking that journey.Coming to the performances, Thoroughbreds packs a reliable cast in Anya Taylor-Joy, Olivia Cooke & Anton Yelchin and all of them play their depthless characters well. The interplay between them is interesting at times but not good enough to leave a lasting impression. Still, Cooke's emotionless act does stand out from the rest.On an overall scale, Thoroughbreds is as sterile & shallow as it is stark & stylish. Offering its viewers nothing to latch on to, it is a tediously paced & monotonously executed teen thriller that leaves you cold & indifferent to all that unfolds on the screen for 92 minutes. A technically refined but narratively hollow debut for Cory Finley.

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

westsideschl A relationship between two girls with quite different backgrounds and future paths. As one tutors the other you begin to wonder just who is tutoring whom (altering the life path), and then later on does it reverse back? Set mostly in the spacious grandiose home of the tutor are the engaging & challenging tête-à-têtes that turn out to be more than either bargained for. Well acted; intelligent raw dialogue
