	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"Devilishly dark and sleekly entertaining (...) An impressive calling card for Finley and another showcase for the talents of contemporary scream queens Olivia Cooke (...) and Anya Taylor-Joy"	POS
United States	Pat Padua The Washington Post	"Cooke —so terrific as a naive teen in 'Bates Motel'— succeeds here in a completely different mode (...) A vicious satire of the upper class and its discontents (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Carla Meyer San Francisco Chronicle	"'Thoroughbreds' starts out strong, limps to the finish line (...) Cory Finley can set a mood, and early scenes mesmerize (...) But thrillers need a plot"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Delightfully vicious (...) The most memorable performance belongs to the late Anton Yelchin (...) The movie prepares a rare feast from its limited ingredients"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Stylish and smart (...) [It] is a mesmerizing balance of chaos and control (...) A puzzle of a film in which every piece fits perfectly."	POS
United States	E. Oliver Whitney Screen Crush	"It’s stunning work, particularly from a first-time filmmaker. I cant wait to see what Finley does next."	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"It did manage to pull off the tricky feat of keeping the audience engaged with very disengaged characters"	POS
