Focus Features brings to the cinema screen a new twist on family affairs, Thoroughbreds. This dark film tells the tale of two ambitious girl’s struggle to break from their oppressive father’s hold. The film is written and directed by Cory Finley. The twisted cast includes Olivia Cooke, Anya Taylor-Joy, Anton Yelchin, and Paul Sparks. Thoroughbreds is set to hit select theaters March 9th of next year.  Good breeding doesn’t always go as planned.

Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.
