Seules les bêtes

A really absorbing and unusual thriller, interconnecting the stories of five people linked to the disappearance of a woman in snowy central France. It takes time to get going but once it does, it's an intriguing and gripping tale, and quite convincingly carried through.

I really enjoyed this. A slow burn of a story, simmering away just enough to keep you hooked. A portrayal of the isolation and desperation of people wanting to escape their own lives (for all reasons from mundanity to poverty). Some are even so desperate they are happy to lie to themselves if it means they can live in a fantasy world rather than their own. Sad, clever, human, understated. A rare gem.

"Only the Animals" is a Drama - Thriller movie in which we follow the disappearance of a woman and how the lives of five people are linked to it. Each person has his/her secrets and he/she does not want to reveal them to anyone.

I liked this movie because it had a very interesting plot that contained plenty of mystery and it was well combined with drama, something that made the movie even more interesting. The direction which was made by Dominik Moll was very good and he presented very well the whole story from different perspectives without making it confusing or creating plot holes. The interpretations of Denis Ménochet who played as Michel Farange, Nadia Tereszkiewicz who played as Marion, Laure Calamy who played as Alice Farange and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi who played as Evelyne Ducat were all great and the combination of their characters fitted to the plot. In conclusion, I have to say that "Only the Animals" surprised me so, I highly recommend everyone to watch it because I am sure it will amaze you.

Subtitles did not distract from this twisted plot. I remained engaged throughout. Don't question the storyline, as it's a tad improbable. It's something different, in a good way.
