Evan Peters (American Horror Story) is terrific as Warren Lipka, as are Barry Keoghan and Jared Abrahamson as Spencer Reinhard and Eric Borsuk. The great Ann Dowd plays librarian, Betty Jean 'BJ' Gooch. American Animals is a fascinating, well-written and directed docudrama that I highly recommend.

The Hollywood Reporter Todd McCarthy.
