Coming of ager is similar in style to The Florida Project but it contains themes that surface below the obvious. It's a good film, and has fine, naturalistic performances from the three leads.

I think one of the main reasons I didn't particularly enjoy this movie was that, in my country, it was branded as the "new Moonlight". And it definitely isn't. I was floored by how different those two movies were (and I blame homophobia a little for making people thinks those two movies are completely alike). However, it is a very interesting movie, though probably not made for me. I graded it a 6 because I didn't truly enjoy it but in no way does it mean that it's a bad movie. Another person made a very good comment so I won't elaborate more.

A poignant and poetic evocation of childhood Less concerned with narrative beats and character arcs than with tone and impressionistic visual poetry, the film operates in a similar magical realist key as Benh Zeitlin's masterful Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), whilst also calling to mind the Texas scenes of Terrence Malick's opus The Tree of Life (2011), especially in the whispery pronouncements of the voiceover narration. Mixing nostalgia, idealism, recrimination, anger, personal freedom, and the constant conflict between optimism and experience into a potent whole, whilst the narrative could be accused of being a little insubstantial, We the Animals is an effective and poignant evocation of the modulations of childhood.

It's pretty incredible that this is Director Jeremiah Zagar's first feature, which he also co wrote. The movie is based on a novel and focuses on Jonah the youngest of three brothers growing up in a volatile family environment. We follow Jonah's escapism into magical realism as he tries More
