Beast - Avis

...a light and endearing high school movie that can't escape the looming shadow of gun violence.
Chekhov’s Gun has never felt more ominous than as part of an arsenal on the wall of a lonely teenager’s bedroom...

...works well as escapist popcorn entertainment.

Spanning two continents, three eras and who knows how many genres, this unwieldy sci-fi drama from French auteur Bertrand Bonello (2016’s Nocturama) fully commits to its title.

We are on the ground, in the middle of the action – a sweatily uncomfortable place to be, even before the supporting cast gets mauled.

So many of The Beast’s visions are impossible to shake, from a submerged basement flecked with floating dead rats to a futuristic nightclub that reinvents itself every night in homage to a different year.

The key to enjoying “Beast” is accepting its inelegant, inconsistent, and often insane terms and conditions.

...a fun, silly, well-made film about a man punching a big cat.

...not only one of the best movies of 2024, but also one of the most thrillingly unexpected.

An ambitious, compelling monster of a movie.

Idris Elba fighting a crazed lion – what’s not to like?

A mind-boggling, sprawling romantic epic.

...a film that will move viewers of all ages.

...enkel underhållning paketerad på ett välgjort och tekniskt snyggt sätt.

...ovanligt underhållande safariaction som övertygar framförallt med sina snygga tekniska lösningar.
