Here Are Our Editors' Picks From the 2023 Sundance Film Festival

"What happens when you mix hot teen romance with a classic werewolf tale? You get a steamy thriller starring Amandla Stenberg and Bobbi Salvör Menuez in a lesbian love story gone wrong. 'My Animal,' directed by Jacqueline Castel, follows tomboy outcast Heather, who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders on account of her oppressive family and alcoholic mother — oh, and her secret werewolf identity. She soon finds comfort in a budding bond with Jonny (Stenberg), who opens up her world and sexuality in more ways than one. The '80s-set supernatural flick offers a new kind of queer teen romance with a plot that spins wildly out of control." — Njera Perkins, associate editor, celebrity and entertainment
