Review of Beautiful Creatures (2013) by Norse — 04 Apr 2018

Just saw this on Netflix - what a rare gem, a perfect 10 of movies.

The story is fresh and different from all the clichés you'd expect to see in this space; setting, characters, turning points - all are unique and very well acted. One more observation - the pacing is perfect, more so than in any movie I have ever seen. There is no hurry but just when an arc comes close to sustain, a major and unexpected development occurs. It's hard to describe, I've not seen this before. I'll read the book next, and very much recommend this movie to anyone. For reference, the closest movie I can think of in terms of the feeling it evoked might be Gilbert Grape.
