Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
krbodkin Do they get people with Asperger to classify movie categories now? I can't see how else something like this gets labeled as a comedy. I see other people criticizing reviewers for assuming this was a comedy. It's not an assumption. It listed first in the 3 top tags IMDB used to describe the movie.Anyways...It's not funny. Not charming. Not even remotely entertaining. A handicapped bear in a tub of molasses movies quicker than this movie.
scshine This movie took place a suburban in the US. Two upper teenage girls live in prosperous circumstances. Lily is an ordinary girl, and Amanda is a kind of sociopath who killed her horse brutally in more younger age. They are getting close as a friend, so they're changing to resemble more and more from each other's characteristic. As a result, Lily has a cruel heart, and Amanda gains a sympathy. Finally, Lily decides to kill her stepfather. Furthermore, she put the blame on Amanda who called the sociopath. Perhaps there is no more perfect alibi. And Amanda accepts the suspicion without any explanation. Thoroughbreds mean hybrid houses for races, and it seems to be a kind of a metaphor of two girls. This movie was an entry of the Sundance movie festival last year. But I think it's a little vulnerable as a well-made thriller. There is a well-made movie called Stoker which an adolescent wants to kill her mother's guy, was directed by Chan-wook Park.
CitizenKaneAAAAA Two minors, thoroughbreds but different kind of stallion, one is weird (antisocial & intelligent but let's just say weird), one is reckless and emotional. together, they're an explosion of characters that we can't relate but somehow understood. The film played like one of those 90s noir films, it started with one formula but ended up run from it but never too far, and never really give two cents about moral message, that's why people who said that this film is a critic towards the privilege people really couldn't find any specific detail for that purpose, the filmmaker did made fun of the upper class but only for fun, because it's supposed to be a fun film about characters. and what a character Amanda is, it's rare to portray an antisocial person without making them as a serial killer. this film is surprisingly meticulous and unique without being pretentious.
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
