Beasts

About This Movie

So, 'Beasts' is this intriguing drama set in the early 1900s, grounded in a rural provincial town. The family at the center is well-off and deeply religious, but you quickly sense the cracks beneath the surface. The tension between the brother and sister feels so palpable and intimate, almost suffocating at times. The pacing is deliberate, which really helps build that oppressive atmosphere. It's not flashy—no big special effects here—just solid, practical performances that draw you in. There’s something distinctive about how it explores familial bonds and the hidden resentments lurking in pious households. Definitely gives you something to chew on long after watching.
