In the chilling psychological thriller Like Minds, directed by Gregory J. Read, a prestigious boarding school becomes the unsettling backdrop for a murder investigation that blurs the line between reality and obsession. When the charismatic and troubled student Alex Forbes (played by Tom Sturridge) is found dead, his quiet, introspective roommate Nigel (portrayed by Eddie Redmayne) is immediately suspected. As forensic psychologist Sally Rowe (Toni Collette) arrives to assess the young suspect, she uncovers a deeply disturbing and complex relationship between the two boys, rooted in a shared fascination with medieval history, secret societies, and the nature of evil. Nigel claims to have been under Alex’s manipulative spell, but his eerie composure and cryptic statements cast doubt on his innocence. Against the atmospheric, rain-soaked halls of the academy, Richard Roxburgh adds further tension as a skeptical detective. As Sally delves deeper into the boys' twisted bond, she must determine whether Nigel is a victim of a malevolent influence or a cold-blooded killer playing a dangerous game. This gripping drama-thriller keeps viewers guessing until the final, haunting frame.
