Written by Kerrigan and directed by Jamie Glover and Jason Merrells—together, the three form The Shotley Collective—Fellow Creatures is a poignant portrait of the tensions that arise when self gain comes at the expense of the other. Kerrigan and Conn are perfection onscreen. As the Stranger, Conn is equal parts charming and sympathetic, yet cool and unrelenting. Meanwhile, Kerrigan is captivating and full-bodied, like a pendulum swinging between the desperation of a father in need of help and the arrogance of a man on a winning streak. Even if you don’t support the choices he makes throughout the film, you at least understand him.
