Animal Kingdom (2016)
17-year-old Joshua "J" Cody moves in with his freewheeling relatives in their Southern California beach town after his mother dies of a heroin overdose. Headed by boot-tough matriarch Janine "Smurf" Cody and her right-hand Baz, who runs the business and calls the shots, the clan also consists of Pope, the oldest and most dangerous of the Cody boys; Craig, the tough and fearless middle son; and Deran, the troubled, suspicious "baby" of the family.

One of my faves of all time. Fast-paced, complex characters, intertwining and compelling storylines in present and past, tons of action, and beautiful people/locales. What’s there NOT to like?
