Beasts

About This Movie

So, 'Beasts' is quite an interesting watch. It's got this raw, unfiltered tone that really pulls you into Lucas's world. You have this 13-year-old boy, and it’s not your typical coming-of-age story—more like a dark descent into vengeance sparked by witnessing his mother’s suffering. The pacing is deliberate, almost slow, which adds to the oppressive atmosphere. There’s a grittiness to the performances; you really feel the weight of Lucas's emotions. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects they use for some of the more intense scenes really ground the film. The themes of familial loyalty and the cycle of violence are explored in a way that sticks with you. It's a somber piece, not easily forgettable in its own right.
