We the Animals (2018)
Emotional, raw, textural analysis of the family unit and the coming of age.
30 September 2018 - 2 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
We the Animals is one of my favourite releases of 2018. The quintessence of the family unit, the film delicately witnesses the coming of age of three brothers. The boys must process their parents' complicated relationship, dotted with domestic violence, abandonment, breathtaking passion, job loss and the reality of the glass ceiling.
While two of the brothers grow a tough skin, the youngest has a disarming gentleness and is exploring his sexuality in a less conventional manner.
Throughout the film, I felt that all characters, no matter how much were trying to break away from the family, were always coming back, because their bond was like a magnet.
