Take Two: “American Animals” (R)

Is it a documentary or a drama? In the case of “American Animals,” the answer to both is, “Yes.” This unique hybrid from filmmaker Bart Layton (“The Imposter”) is a true crime drama about a group of college students who decide to rob a college library of some valuable books. Barry Keoghan (“Dunkirk”) and Evan Peters (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”) play Spencer Reinhard and Warren Lipka, two of the inept thieves. The real Reinhard and Lipka appear to provide often contradictory narration.
