Thoroughbreds is a 2017 English-language Comedy Crime movie written and directed by Cory Finley and produced by Kevin J. Walsh, Jim Rash, Nat Faxon, Andrew Duncan and Alex Saks under the banner of June Pictures in collaboration with B Story and Big Indie Pictures. In suburban Connecticut, upper-class high schooler Amanda (Olivia Cooke) euthanizes her crippled horse with a knife, resulting in charges of animal cruelty. Some time later, Amanda arrives at the home of the popular and academically-inclined Lily (Anya Taylor-Joy). The girls had previously been best friends but grew apart after the death of Lily's father. They meet under the pretense of hanging out and having a casual tutoring session, but Amanda knows that her mother (Kaili Vernoff) has paid Lily to socialize with Amanda. Lily denies being paid, but Amanda, left emotionless by an unspecified mental disorder, is unfazed. Lily meets with Amanda again, this time voluntarily, and they rekindle their friendship. Thoroughbreds stars Olivia Cooke in the title role along with an ensemble cast including Anya Taylor-joy, Anton Yelchin, Paul Sparks, Francie Swift, Kaili Vernoff and Svetlana Orlova. The music was composed by Erik Friedlander. Cinematography was done by Lyle Vincent and editing by Louise Ford. The movie has a running time of 92 minutes. It was released on 9th March 2018. Thoroughbreds was made on a budget of $4 million and at the box office it grossed only $3 million. Distribution rights for the motion picture were acquired by Focus Features.
