Review of Animal Kingdom (2010) by Mad M — 06 Jul 2012

Now..at the end when you stand up and walk away, this is a sort of a movie that makes you feel like you have been sitting in a Physics class giving full attention with eyes and ears on the subject for the entire time you were there.

Right from the beginning,you sense a very unusual nature of the movie ,always introducing characters that you have never met before in any movie. So that's when you realize that "Well this has got to be weird"... And it is.. It certainly is with all the events ,how they are presented and acting by the people.

The movie always keeps a awkward state of mentality when coming to relationships, people ,the police and even the whole environment where the movie was filmed.

The character played by Jacki Weaver is pretty amazing... Her reaction to the events ,how she takes the deaths, how she handles her position ..well they solidly prints a clear image of her character. As a matter of fact she rarely changes her facial expressions..she always looks calm, direct, unpredictable...That sometimes creeps you out. She looks very confident of her living and she's sort of like a calm control freak. Weird but interesting.

And Pop has a very disturbing character too. He just improvised to every incident... And without any kind of spark in the environment he reacts very vigorously and it seems very normal of him...cz he never yells.

Every character looks creepy in certain angles...Even the cops and the lawyer. Even J's girlfriend...She's pretty but not controlled in anyway. She's a little impulsive...Do what she feels like..She's not a threat to anyone or is she hot tempered...She's like independent..not much alarmed by what's happening around her.

This all awkwardness sets a high level of approach to taking the attention of the viewers. Very interesting..and this could be one of the best out there...One of the best.
