Animals

Director: Sophie Hyde


Holliday Grainger and Alia Shawkat star as best friends and drinking buddies Laura and Tyler whose hedonistic existence falls under the threat of responsibility and adulthood when Laura gets engaged to Jim – a devilishly handsome and ambitious pianist. As their relationship intensifies, Laura’s friendship with Tyler comes under pressure. As the fabric of their friendship begins to fray, the bond between these two siren soulmates starts to implode. Finding themselves at a crossroads as their old lives start to slip away, both begin to encounter new opportunities that might carry them beyond their past hedonism.

This film, set in Dublin, is a very funny, insightful celebration of female friendship and the choices we make.
