Directed by Cory Finley
by Benjamin Leonard, Best Boy

Thoroughbreds is the debut feature from writer/director Cory Finley. It tells the story of two upper-class teens dabbling in the criminal world of drugs and contract killings. Olivia Cooke plays Amanda, a bit of a sociopath whose mother pays her former friend Lily to be her friend again. Anya Taylor-Joy plays Lily, seemingly a little-miss-perfect. Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy each have had some recent indie success as the titular young ladies in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The VVitch, respectively.
