Bestiary

About This Movie

Bestiary is an intriguing exploration of adolescent dynamics wrapped in a layer of dark drama. The atmosphere feels thick with tension, as Pauline and her friends navigate their own moral compass, choosing a new target amidst the chaos left behind by 'the dog.' It's not just about the plot; it's those quiet moments that really get under your skin—the unspoken rivalries are palpable, and the impulses of violence loom heavy. The pacing, while slow at times, allows for a buildup that feels almost claustrophobic. The performances are raw, capturing that blend of naivety and cruelty that often defines youth. What stands out is how it tackles themes of belonging and the dark side of friendship, something that resonates deeply.
