Animals (2019 Sophie Hyde)

Written by Emma Jane Unsworth, from her own novel.

On the brink of thirty, Holliday Grainger is a failing writer (ten pages in ten years), Alia Shawkat her friend, failing at everything. Fra Fee (pianist) and Dermot Murphy (poet) come into orbit.

The leads are good, but the film is - quite simply - boring. Holliday does make some odd choices - The Scouting Book For Boys comes to mind.

Filmed in Dublin.
