Rating: 2/5 -- [An] hour and a half of pretentious mind games... Full Review

The film equivalent of being cornered at a house party by someone's coked-out friend of a friend until your ride home is ready to bounce. Full Review

I think American Animal is an exercise in pure creativity, as in creativity in a vacuum with no consequence of narrative. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- It's hard to tell where D'Elia's own psychotic cinephilia ends and the character's begins. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- "American Animal" becomes a philosophically strident evening of speechifying local theater (topic: human evolution). Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- It is well-acted and features witty repartee. Look for more good things to come from this talent. Full Review

American Animal deserves to be seen, but more than that, it deserves to launch D'Elia as a filmmaker of note, and I'm curious to see where he goes from here. Full Review

Product Description:

Critically ill, eccentric Jimmy (Matt D'Elia) makes a complete break from reality upon learning that his roommate James (Brendan Fletcher) is about to start a new job. Jimmy and James are not just roommates, but best friends as well. They share a trendy loft in downtown Los Angeles, and frivolously pass the days away drinking, doing drugs, having one-night stands, and playing board games. For Jimmy, it's the perfect way of life. But James craves structure, and in the morning he will start a new job. To Jimmy, it's the ultimate betrayal. Now, as the two close-knit roommates enter into a hysterical battle of wills while sharing their last day of freedom in the company of two beautiful women (Mircea Monroe and Angela Sarafyan), Jimmy becomes swept up in a complex vortex of emotions that push him ever closer to the brink of total insanity.
