Thoroughbreds remind us of the talent of Anton Yelchin.
Yes, there are still some Anton Yelchin films left to get excited about. Thoroughbreds made its debut at Sundance 2017 and has a posthumous screen appearance by Yelchin, but it is so much more than that.
From first-time writer/director Cory Finley, Thoroughbreds features two Connecticut teenagers who are unhappy with their lives. Olivia Cooke, best known for her performance in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, plays Amanda who has goals that don’t include getting an internship. She has reconnected with her childhood friend, Lily (Anya Taylor-Joy), who has an upper-class upbringing and snooty boarding school credentials. Together they devise a plan to get rid of the problem that plagues their lives, getting rid of Lily’s step-father (Paul Sparks). They turn to Tim (Yelchin) to get the job done for them, even if he insists “he isn’t fucking Rambo.”
