Carnivores (2018)

Carnivores: Directed by Jérémie Renier, Yannick Renier. With Leïla Bekhti, Zita Hanrot, Bastien Bouillon, Johan Heldenbergh. A struggling actress accepts to coach her famous sister on a tough shoot, but their relationship soon evolves into dark territory.

“Although the initial synopsis sounded intresting on a psychological level, the movie very quickly showed lack of character depth and back-up stories as well as stereotypes : the two main sister characters are just very caricatural in their exhuberantu0026amp;successful VS introvertu0026amp;envious dynamic. There are huge narrative ellipses that make it quite hard to give credit to the development of the storyline. And last but not least, this movie borrows a great deal from u0026quot;Always Shineu0026quot;, a 2016 movie directed by Sophia Takal and starring Caitlin Fitzgerald. So it definitely feels like a u0026quot;deja vuu0026quot;.”
