“Anonymous Animals” (* out of four) was a rabid bore set in a remote countryside in which the balance between man and animal has changed and any encounter between the two can turn to hostility and bloodshed and several residents (Thierry Marcos, Pauline Guilpain, Aurelien Chilarski, and others) struggle to make sense of this new world order and survive. Many critics somehow loved this pretentious and molasses-moving mess but I’m surely not one of them; film takes forever to get going and to comprehend but even then it’s not worth the bother. Kevin Brunet and Emmanuel Dauchy’s crisp cinematography is pretty at times but otherwise proceed at your own peril.
