Review of Beast (2018)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for The Telegraph (1,120) on 11 May 2018

Its control of tone can be a little uncertain, particularly during the ambitious epilogue – and I wish it had allowed itself a little more…

Review of Beast (2018)

By Sheila O'malley (474) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 10 May 2018

One of the strengths of the film, also written by Pearce, is how much it is willing to withhold, without descending into Gotcha! manipulation…

Review of Beast (2018)

By Michael Gingold (56) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 10 May 2018

There is indeed beauty to be found on the island, but Pearce's sharply made point is that beastliness can lurk in unexpected places…

Review of Beast (2018)

Review of Beast (2018)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 09 May 2018

Review of Beast (2018)

By Jeannette Catsoulis (1,537) for New York Times (5,786) on 09 May 2018

Bathed in a shadowy beauty and slippery psychological atmosphere, “Beast” soars on Ms. Buckley’s increasingly animalistic performance…

Review of Beast (2018)

By Chris Nashawaty (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 09 May 2018

Pearce takes his time laying out his sleeping-with-the-enemy tale, but his stinginess with plot lends the film an vice-tightening air of mystery…

Review of Beast (2018)

By Justin Chang (1,535) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 May 2018

Review of Beast (2018)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 May 2018

Review of Beast (2018)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for New Yorker (1,403) on 03 May 2018
