'Riveting.' Elle 'Brilliant.' Sophie Mackintosh 'Glittering.' Marie Claire 'Enthralling.' New York Times 'Manages to bottle up that chaotic and messy feeling of girlhood.' Stylist Huddled at a bedroom window, a group of teenagers peer out at their scorched, swampy, fame-hungry town. Taking turns with the binoculars, their gaze sweeps across the highway and the abandoned construction site to the lake. Figures drift across the landscape: mothers, fathers, a preacher's daughter. These girls know everything about everyone - perhaps too much. 'Beautiful and deeply strange. I loved it.' Mariana Enriquez 'Assured, insightful, quietly savage.' Nicole Flattery 'Brutes feels wonderfully untethered, wild and unpredictable.' Danya Kukafka
