I had problems with this film, but ultimately I did appreciate the quality of world-building featured in the script. The story moved fast and had an entertaining third act set piece.
2. Ana Lily Amirpour
She's a terrifically talented young director. I loved her film The Bad Batch and she was an inspired, creative choice for a big budget superhero project. She definitely managed to elevate the material a bit.
1. Lucas Hedges
Hedges is one of the best young actors working today. He did what he could with a less than stellar role in Theater Kids.
Like I said, I had problems with this film. The lead characters weren't very interesting and the super powers were decidedly less than cinematic. Crimson Fox just doesn't feel like a character that needs her own film. Hell, Crimson Fox has never even been deemed worthy of her own comic series, and now there's a big budget film based on the character?
2. Prey
Prey was too generic for me. The plot felt very paint by numbers and the talented cast was wasted on cookie cutter roles.
1. Theater Kids
Yes, it was better than Hippies in New York, as the critics have mentioned, but I still had a hard time getting through it. And don't get me started on that soundtrack....
