Viewing Notes

Was at the office today so I slipped into Evanston Century Cinema for an early evening screening of David Michôd’s Animal Kingdom (2010). Not quite the Aussie thriller I was expecting but a very solid family crime drama with a good amount of suspense. Don’t think it’s as great as something like The Horseman but still a very good film. Definitely worth a look.
