Thoroughbreds

My biggest critique is the way that Amanda’s sociopathy is introduced. It feels so abrupt so early on in the film that it kind of takes me out of the story. There’s a “vampire” movie about a soldier who comes back from war an empty shell of his former self, and his girlfriend mistakes his emptiness for anger. She asks him “you’re not mad or anything, are you?” to which he responds “no, I’m not mad. Or anything.” I wish this treatment of Amanda’s condition was subtler in places. The best scene of this in the movie is when Amanda does her hair up for a moment and imitates Lilly.  Overall, phenomenal film.
