Synopsis
The Vicious Kind is the story of two brothers, a father trying to reconnect with his sons, and the young woman who gets between the three of them. Irascible and lovelorn, Caleb Sinclaire reluctantly picks up his brother Peter at college and drives him and his new girlfriend Emma home for Thanksgiving in their small Rhode Island town. Having recently broken up with his girlfriend, Caleb warns that Emma will end up hurting his younger brother, but he also can’t stop himself from being drawn to her. As Caleb’s infatuation with Emma grows, he must decide whether to act on his feelings or protect his brother’s first love. Superbly acted, beautifully photographed, with an impressive soundtrack and score, The Vicious Kind is a strong and compelling indie film. Starring Adam Scott, Brittany Snow, Alex Frost, and J.K. Simmons.
