Beast' is the story of a troubled young woman who forms a relationship with a potential killer. Murderers are often protected by those who are close to them, often held in abusive relationships, so the premise isn't intrinsically absurd but I wasn't convinced by this portrayal.
Infinitely rewatchable. Lightning struck with this hidden gem.
This is an interesting and edgy film, with a very convincing turn by Buckley who convinces as a genuinely disturbed young woman who is alienated by her snobby controlling family. She meets the roguish and handsome Pascal who gives her excitement and freedom away from her family.
What a great movie: storytelling, sounddesign and photography was spot on to contribute to each scene. I honestly didn't expect that quality before watching it!
My first exposure to Jessie Buckley was the movie "Wild Rose", and I became an instant fan. A gifted singer also, her acting really is a force of nature, she is that good.
Loved it, astonishingly well crafted in any way acting, filming, screenplay, editing, ...
Great development. More than once I thought I had the whole story figured out only to get twist after twist.
This movie is complex and simple at the same time. As the story progresses, the tension rises, leaving the audiences not trusting any of the characters.
A decent movie with great cast. Found it quite unsettling at times.
