My Animal (2023)

"My Animal" is a supernatural coming-of-age drama set in a frozen small town. Isolation and repressed desire simmer beneath the surface. A teenage girl wrestles with a monstrous family inheritance. At the same time, she falls hard for another young woman. Amandla Stenberg leads the film with a physical, raw performance at its center. India Salvor Menuez plays the object of her obsession with a quiet, magnetic pull. Their connection builds into real heat on screen. It's unafraid to get explicit when the story demands it. The hub carries 8 scenes pulled from the film. They track that tension from its first spark to its rawest payoff. Anyone drawn to Stenberg's fearless choices will find plenty here worth watching closely.
