A film that flew completely under the radar as it was delayed years before its eventual release. It has compelling performances from Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy as well as the last film role for Anton Yelchin but despite the strong leads it always feels like it wants to lead to something more and leaves you hanging a bit. Still, for a dark thriller, it has plenty of good moments and is still worth a watch.

I wasn't always on the same wavelength as this teen dark-comedy, but when I happened to fall in sync with it, "Thoroghbreds" proved effective.

As much as I love all of the performers involved -- including Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy and the late Anton Yelchin, who all deliver commendable work here -- Thoroughbreds left me rather underwhelmed. I always appreciate a dark comedy, but I found this film to be painfully one-note and rather uninteresting.

Eerie and unsettling teen thriller yet also having a strange quirky sense of humor. Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy are both good as the estranged friends that reaffirm their relationship through a shared apathy and disconnect from their families. It's weird seeing Anton Yelchin in this, knowing that he had died back in 2016.
