Review of Animal Kingdom (2010) by Cal ( — 25 Jul 2011

A very original full on crime film, and by "full on" I mean that in a sinister and emotional way as the grandmother in this film gives off such a sickly horror like vibe that you cant not hear her speak without being scared for who she is addressing...even when she's being nice or appearing nice.

The scenes are especially hard hitting and very nicely paced, I think the only thing id pick on this film about is the utter bleak aroma it never quits with, fair enough this is a gangster like film and I have heard it being referred to as an Aussie Goodfellas or Godfarther but at least with those films you would get a perspective of some high points of a criminal life. Never the less even with little joy at all to be had for the main characters there is allot to be taken from the artistic sense of the good and shocking film production.
