FFCC Members on ‘American Animals’
FFCC members on Bart Layton’s dramatic heist movie American Animals
Allison Hazlett-Rose, FlickDirect
“American Animals is entertaining while answering the question most people have thought about at one time or another…If I tried to commit a crime, could I get away with it?”
Dan Hudak, Punch Drunk Movies
“But movies and real life are two very different things, and part of the brilliance of American Animals is how well it articulates that fact.”
Cameron Meier, MeierMovies
“By the film’s end, you have a clear understanding of 10 people: the five leads in the fictional part of the film and their five real-life (non-actor) counterparts. You might also come to embrace the movie’s playful, meta-theatrical, deconstructionist sensibility.”
Hans Morgenstern, Independent Ethos
“Even when you know the end result from the outset of the film, when the crime unfolds, featuring a Murphy’s law of falling dominoes, the scenes are as nerve wracking as anything you might see in a high octane action movie.”
