My Animal (2023)
8/10
Not your standard horror movie, but good film
15 September 2023
Some notes:

  • If it's to put everything at risk - whether you're a man, a woman, or a werewolf - let it be for Amandla Stenberg. Probably, the prettiest person on Earth.


  • There's homophobia among werewolves. There doesn't seem to be racism, which is already a positive point.


  • Romance + Horror is becoming one of my favorite genres. It warms and chills the heart in a short amount of time.


  • For a coming-of-age story with seemingly little plot, it's incredible how much this film addresses thematically.


  • These two have chemistry, like really good chemistry. I could watch them for hours. Don't be perverse. I don't mean it in sexual terms.


  • But, by the way, there is one of the most artistic sex scenes in the history of cinema.


  • The score, filled with synthesizers reminiscent of the late '80s or early '90s, is magnificent. The colours are fantastic. The direction is very confident.


  • In the second act, it meanders a bit, but I won't complain much because I could get lost in that little world for hours just because.


  • An opportunity was missed to have Heather's mother wet Jonny's bed, who should learn to follow her feelings.


  • We need a sequel where Jonny joins Heather on a road trip, and they meet the cannibals (survivors or not) from the world of Bones & All. Please.
