About This Movie

So, 'Like Animals' is one of those films that sneaks up on you. Leland Montgomery really captures the essence of sibling dynamics amid grief—it's both tender and messy. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing each sister's personality to breathe, while the atmosphere feels almost intimate, like being a fly on the wall during their most vulnerable moments. Performances are raw yet relatable; you can really feel the weight of their loss. There's a good mix of humor integrated into the drama, which keeps it from feeling too heavy-handed.
