Thomas Cailley’s sci-fi fantasy has too much sensitivity and good taste to be the proper horror-thriller or creature feature that it almost resembles.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2024

Stay for how Kircher and Duris embed a father-son story into the fantastical elements, and transform a far-out tale of genetics run amuck into an elegy about the pain of letting go.

The movie is effective in its ability to make us emphasize for the hunted “others” as well as observe how humanity becomes the very thing it fears: monstrous in its attempt to restore law and order.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 16, 2024

A light but meaty piece of magical-realism that threads the needle between Cronenbergian body horror and Miyazaki-like fantasy...

The soft-pedaled approach to its narrative strands gives the film the feel of an extended 온라인카지노추천 pilot.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 1, 2024

"The Animal Kingdom" is what an X-Men movie would look like if it doubled-down on its tolerance-for-outsiders metaphor and did away with any exciting superpowered spectacle.

Anchoring what may sound like a rather involved plot are a triumvirate of formidable and unflashy performances that convincingly sell this ambitiously wrought world.

A bold, altogether wild-up genre mash-up.

Stumble even for a moment, and the whole movie could feel silly, which is what makes the fact that it works all the more remarkable.
