Beast Reviews

Movie Reviews

• with an eye for arresting imagery and a particularly fine performance from his leading lady, director Michael Pearce makes an impressive debut in this thriller

  by Kate Taylor [The Globe and Mail ]

• Michael Pearce's prickly, twistily effective first feature; Beast also sustains a fresh, frank feminine perspective through Jessie Buckley's remarkable lead performance

  by Guy Lodge [Variety ]

• Michael Pearce's feature debut is a smartly layered thriller that draws haunting drama from a creepy location and an array of plausably shady characters

  by Peter Bradshaw [The Guardian ]

• eerily intoxicating; the feature debut of British writer-director Michael Pearce (nominated for a BAFTA for his 2013 short Keeping Up with the Joneses) comes at the well-worn serial killer thriller from an impressively unconventional angle

  by Emma Simmonds [The List (UK) ]

• Beast offers a beautifully acted and fantastically shot tale of mystery, rebellion and passion; Pierce, who writes as well as directs, cleverly mixes intrigue and beautiful settings to tell a riveting tale shrouded in mystery and suspense

  by Linda Marric [HeyUGuys ]
