'The Animal Kingdom' Review: Thomas Cailley Crafts Heartfelt Sci-Fi
The predatory actions of humans all over the world have put us on an inexorable path of planetary destruction to the point where we fear when and how nature will strike back. Directed by Thomas Cailley, who pens the script with Pauline Munier, The Animal Kingdom explores these anxieties by imagining a near future where humans are slowly turning into animals. It's a gripping concept that's elevated by great practical effects and emotional performances.
While there's a complex sci-fi concept at the heart of The Animal Kingdom, the movie rightfully chooses to put character above worldbuilding. That's why, instead of spending too long explaining the rules of the mutations, the film throws us in the middle of a complicated family drama that anchors the sci-fi story.
'The Animal Kingdom' Struggles With Pacing Since people and their relationships are at the center of The Animal Kingdom, Cailley can keep the stakes high for the whole movie. Because of that, the movie can both play with sci-fi ideas and explore relatable subjects like the generational conflicts between fathers and sons.
