a review of 良种动物

I liked Thoroughbreds. The misanthropic black humor, the matter-of-factly narrative, the slightly surreal cinematography, it was all well-balanced, and pleasantly similar to the film style of Yorgos Lanthimos. But it's Anya Taylor-Joy's fascinating, serene face that turned every scene featuring her into an eye magnet. If Stanley Kubrick could be resurrected, I'd urge him to remake Lolita with Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role. It would be morally safe, because she was already 21 years old when she starred in Thoroughbreds, although she looked like sixteen. It's sad to realize that Thoroughbreds was Anton Yelchin's last film before his unfortunate death. Judging by his performances he could have had an interesting career.
