Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

rossbatchelor This film is very sound technically, with cinematography being a particularly strong point. I felt as if I knew where the plot was going pretty early on, and this frustrated me a bit. However, the story was compelling and interesting enough that I was suitably captivated throughout. A genuinely interesting and disturbingly dark take on the classic romantic narrative.

friendsevr I hadn't seen or heard too many things about this film and to be honest, I'm glad I didn't. Going into this movie, I had a good grasp on the nature of this film, but it exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The directing, acting, cinematography, and score were absolutely breathtaking. An exciting film I'm anxious to see again. A few unanswered questions but if everything is solved for you, then there isn't much room for speculation or conversation afterwards, in my opinion. Very well done.

rockman182 I heard really good things about this so wanted to check it out. I watched Taboo, so I know Jessie Buckley from that series and know she's a talent. It's always nice to stay in the dark about a film's plot, which is relatively easier for these limited release films. I liked Beast from the get go and thought it did a lot very well. its overall, a well acted and really well made film. Its not as mysterious as it may seem but it does excellent portrayal of a relationship that against all odds attempts to flourish, despite the dangers involved.The film is about a girl named Moll who meets a mysterious boy named Pascal and they instantly become romantically involved. Things become complicated when Moll's family show their disapproval of Pascal. Also, girls from the town are getting brutally murdered and the mystery seems to point to Pascal. Moll must try to follow her heart while also considering who her boyfriend could really be. Johnny Flynn stars alongside Buckley as Pascal.I think Jessie Buckley knocks her performance out of the park. She is tremendous and you see her go through love, rejection, and she always shows off pure emotion. The film itself has amazing countryside and beach-side cinematography and works so well because of the strength of the leads and the absolute dark and bleak story. Its very strong in many areas. I think the plot could have used work in certain parts but that doesn't take away from the film.There are moments in the film that are portrayed perfectly, it keeps you watching intently and hoping for more. I urge film lovers to watch this because its a good effort that will be appreciated by people in the mood for a dark and romantic thriller. I hope to see Jessie Buckley in other work because she is the high point of this really good thriller. A lot of films can learn from this.7.5/10

VisualConnoisseur The first part of the film sets up a tense atmosphere by keeping the main characters under a mysterious light. It appears that something great is about to be revealed. But as the time passes, it is clear that this movie wants to be something it is not. There are no surprises, no shock value, and no unexpected turns. The actors do their best to save the underwhelming narrative, but they can only do so much.Beast feels like an overproduced student film that doesn't have anything new to offer.
