ストーリー
Laura and Tyler, longtime friends and flatmates, have been living a carefree life in Dublin, Ireland, partying hard and rejecting societal expectations. Laura, an aspiring writer, and Tyler, her free-spirited best friend, seem content with their lifestyle. However, when Laura's younger sister Jean becomes unexpectedly pregnant, it causes Laura to reevaluate her own life. She begins to feel the pressure of her age and the stagnation of her writing career. As Laura starts to question her choices and consider settling down, she and Tyler find themselves growing apart. Laura's impending engagement further strains their friendship, as Tyler struggles with feelings of jealousy and abandonment.
概要
'Animals' (2019), directed by Sophie Hyde, is a booze-fueled comedy-drama that explores the complexities of female friendship and the transition from youth to adulthood. The film follows Laura and Tyler, who have been best friends and flatmates for over a decade, as they navigate life in Dublin's vibrant but unforgiving social scene. Inspired by Emma Jane Unsworth's novel of the same name, 'Animals' offers a raw and honest portrayal of millennial womanhood, balancing humor with melancholy. Alia Shawkat (Laura) and Holliday Grainger (Tyler) deliver complementary performances that capture the messy dynamics of long-term friendship. The film tackles themes of identity, ambition, jealousy, and the inevitable changes that come with time and personal growth, all set against the backdrop of Ireland's capital city.
