American Animals
There is a big group of movies amassing at the top of my favorite movies of 2018 list, and this one is joining that menagerie. I didn't know too much about this one going in, so I was caught a little bit by surprise, and I was mesmerized by this. Among its other virtues, it includes some really nice performances from a cast that includes Barry Keoghan (The Killing of a Sacred Deer; Dunkirk), Evan Peters (American Horror Story); and Ann Dowd (who is in the list twice now thanks to Hereditary). I was fascinated by this movie on pretty much every level. For the curious, I'd recommend maybe just watching the trailer and steering clear of any spoiler-y reviews. It's in theaters, but it looks like it's also on Vudu, if that's more your bag. However, I'm really glad I caught it at the local cinema.
