The right kind of wacky entertainment for Saturday night viewing. Don't be tempted to read too much into the stilted dialogue as there's a tinge of meaninglessness to it. Great performances by both female leads!

Cooke and Taylor-Joy both give excellent performances, but the script is completely devoid of any real ideas. Its just nihilism for its own sake.

interesting and boring at the same time. i saw it on hulu. Anton Yelchin as the druggie loser hitman was the best part of the film i wish he was in the movie more. The two lead actresses are good. spoiler: I didnt like how the chick blamed her friend at the end didnt like the outcome good acting slow burn dark thriller interesting scenery nice mansion.

A well-directed, perfectly acted film, that causes us to question who the villain of the story is at every turn. Though the movie itself is hard to remember, the execution of the climax is hard to forget.

Great performances by Taylor-Joy and Cooke. Stays true to its dark intentions and doesn't wimp out in the end like so many more mainstream films do.

One of those movies that will get stuck in your head.

Lenta y monótona, por momentos se siente que ni siquiera avanza. La historia no es nada que no se haya visto antes. La comedia te la debo. Excelente las actuaciones de las 2 protagonistas, creo que es la única razón por la que no me termine durmiendo.

Meh.. This movie has some great acting. As for the plot, it's been done before. There's a slight twist near the end but nothing spectacular here.

A film that tries so hard to be a bit different. A bit edgy. The unusual quick fire dialogue between Anya Taylor Joy and Olivia Cooke was interesting for about 5 minutes. The references to thoroughbreds was not really explained and the metaphor died as quickly as any interest in the film. A plain silly plot where an unlikely 'killer' is hired to bump off Anya Taylor Joys Dad. He doesn't. Then in a 'twist' Olivia Cooke kills Taylors Dad. And then, mercifully, it ends.

Olivia Cooke is especially effective and the dark humor really works.

A book: How to Kill for Dummies...

This is quite a dark film - thematically speaking and comedically speaking of course - its certainly dialogue heavy. It's quite atmospheric at times and it leaves you wondering what's going to happen when. It reminded me a bit of 'Cruel Intentions'. It features a good cast, although it isn't a particularly thrilling film as such, it has a slow plot pace and won't suit all. If this is your sort of thing then yes, it is worth seeing.

It's a bleak and at times very strange movie heavy on sociopathic character study. There's real moments of insight peppered throughout and is sharp in its presentation despite feeling like it's maybe a little too smooth for its own good.

Very rarely are psychopaths of thr aloof variety portrayed in film. This one was played by Olivia Cooke in a very entertaining and almost charming fashion. Anya Taylor Joy's character, Lily, completes a the dynamic between herself and Cooke's role, Amanda, as thr unsuspected pathological sadistic narcissist and it culminates in a train wreck you can't take your eyes off of. Whoever wrote this seems to have an intimate knowledge of this unsettling dynamic between disordered personalities.

A very entertaining predictable movie with great chemistry between the two main leads that made me wanted a mini series than a movie instead.

"Thoroughbreds" has some storytelling issues but is so quirky and different, that it's still enjoyable. I think the strongest parts of the movie are the two lead performances as well as the directing. I really liked the look and feel of the movie and think it has some solid satire. The movie's ending is where I feel somewhat mixed on and I think it could make or break the rest of it. I still think it is a fascinating movie that is sharp and somewhat well told. Overall, I would say it is an okay movie that mostly works because of the dry and witty performances from its cast and unique tone.

Dull. The cast is impressive, but it wasn't enough to hold my interest.

There's a good story in there somewhere and debuting director Cory Finley manages to create an impressively creepy tone that has you wondering what's coming next, but the problem is, there's not a lot that DOES come next and it's much more of dialogue-heavy, character-driven film than I'd expected. That, in and of itself, wouldn't have been a bad thing -- especially if you consider that they nabbed two great female leads in Anya-Taylor Joy and Olivia Cooke -- but the problem is that none of the characters (save for Anton Yelchin's, RIP, gone too early) are likeable or, crucially, particularly interesting. That means it feels like it drags quite a bit and the "twist", if you can call it that, isn't enough to elevate the film into "great" territory.
