‘Animals’ would have been better served had it had the guts to go as dark as the source material, instead of teetering on the edge. Gritty but not too gritty, the film fails to decide which relationship is its focus, yet it still manages to engage you enough not to truely care while voyeuristically observing this modern right of passage of identity, resilience and the hard choices we have to make.
