Description

Pol is a teenager with a seemingly calm life: he lives with his brother and is still in high school. However, Pol has a secret: Deerhoof, a cuddly teddy bear who thinks, moves around and with whom he shares his best moments. Life goes on as normal until the arrival of Ikari, an enigmatic student who seems to be hiding something. Pol is fascinated by his new classmate and attracted to the dark side he harbors. An inexplicable death and a series of strange events will transform the meek student's routine into a fantastic adventure which will take over their lives. Animals is a story of teenage love, of sacrifice, of the tragedy of two clashing worlds. A Tale in which the power of imagination blurs its borders with reality and where death turns out to be an ending as tempting as inevitable.

    This starts off quite strongly with the dynamic between "Laura" (Holliday Grainger) and "Tyler" (Alia Shawkat) tight and nippy - if largely hedonistic and alcohol fuelled. Once a love interest develops between the pair though, and the latter's sister "Jean" (Amy Molloy) deliberately gets pregnant, the body clocks start ticking and the pace of the film slows to that of a glacier as the sharpness of the first 20 minutes or so takes to it's heels. What that leaves us with is a sort of dull observational documentary on some thoughtless and selfish Dublin pseudo-intellectuals and by the conclusion I just didn't care.
