Somehow, this movie had me actually hooked the entire time. I'm not even sure how, as I intended to get some work done while having it play in the background.

All I can say is I loved the main characters and felt the relationship between Amanda and Lily was very well played out and developed. Also some incredible character development for Lily, [spoiler]which shows that she's even worse than Amanda was, or at least the capacity for much worse. One a sociopath, one a psychopath.[/spoiler]

Highly recommend, if you are able to follow unusual movie's and odd plotlines.

A quirky, angsty but deep comedic thriller that had me hooked from the very first scene.
Like Juno with a murder plot. If either of those speak to you, give Thoroughbreds a shot. It's definitely worth your time.

This movie is weird and slow. The music is good and story is interesting, it went places I didn't think of. Anton Yelchin (RIP) was great in his last performance but there wasn't enough of him.

'Thoroughbreds' dissects teen happiness, or the lack of it in a wealthy suburb of Connecticut. There's a lot to like about the Hitchcockian plot and camerawork with Director Corey Finley straying away from your normal teen drama and instead opting for a clever, intriguing style full of wry humour and aloofness. One scene in particular is brilliantly directed with a long slow zoom that cranks up the tension.

Anya Taylor Joy and Olivia Cooke are both brilliant as the young privileged teens who try to hatch a murder plot. And the script is really engaging. It's been described as 'Heathers' meets 'American Psycho', which is pretty much on the mark. There are a few moments that don't quite stack up and a little too much 'trope' comes into play at certain points but this is Corey Finlay's debut film, and there's enough here to suggest he's got some fine Directing chops.

The film is a slow burn with a end that flips the characters personalities. Both Anya and Olivia have a screen presence that you can't look away from, and the late Anton Yelchin was great also.

Because the film is led by characters that are detached from their emotions, I felt largely detached from the movie as a whole. It's not terrible, but it is a cold experience, and not the modern classic that many have considered it to be.

Really liked this and I have no idea why... Maybe had something to do with the stellar cast (Anton Yelchin!), weird vibe and incredible 10/10 soundtrack which was practically a character itself. Whatever the reason, this film marked me, which is a godsend when one sees as many films as I.

This movie surprised me quite a bit. The relationship between Amanda and Lily is interesting to watch, slowly unfolding and the ending was bittersweet.

Acting amazing. Everything else… eh. Can’t say I enjoyed this tbh. I don’t get the point of it really.
Also disappointed with how small Anton’s role was.
Overall, not what I expected.

A ridiculously engaging drama/thriller/black comedy about two young women plotting a very bad thing while navigating the complicated dynamics of their co-dependent relationship. The two lead actresses carry the whole thing effortlessly with their stunning performances and the ambiguous epilogue subtly hints at a possible last-minute plot twist, having the viewer re-evaluate the protagonists’ whole motives and power dynamics.

Here we have horses, Steve Jobs, psychopathy, sociopathy, rich atmospheric music and family dysfunction - not in any order, the end.

It's a rather heady movie but it's an OK watch. I'd suggest watching it before 7pm and preferably with a fully alert mind. Otherwise you may fall into the... well, you may fall asleep.
