The Animal Kingdom (2023) directed by Thomas Cailley. If you liked The Lobster by Yorgos Lanthimos, Disney animated Brave, or werewolf flicka, then this movie is for you. It is all of those and none of those. A strange disease (COVID allegory, racism, modernism in general?) is mutating some into beasts. We follow François and his son Èmile as they deal with the aftermath of the transformation of Lana, their wife and mother, and the changes it brings to their lives. It's a story of illness, hiddenness, passing, and freedom, as well as a coming-of-age tale. It's a mixture of practical special effects and CGI. There's some low-key body horror at play. Recommended.
Streaming on Hulu.
