Review of Beach Rats (2017) by Francys S — 22 Sep 2017

This film was intense, sensuous and suspenseful. The movie had you guessing as to what would happen next in this young man's unraveling. The director achieved this through incredibly intimate shots, dramatic and claustrophobic closeups.

These features of the film made you feel like an inescapable bystander. Overall, it was well acted and directed even as it leaves the story unresolved.
