WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In upstate New York, Jonah (Rosado), Joel (Gabriel) and Manny (Kristian) are rambunctious young brothers living with their mixed-race parents (Vand and Castillo). As Joel and Manny begin to grow into versions of their volatile father, Jonah begins to imagine a more sensitive life for himself as he begins to discover, among many other things, his emerging sexuality…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A sensual tale of family and identity, We The Animals is brought with stunning vision by director Jeremiah Zager and some very naturalistic performances from its largely inexperienced cast.
