Beast's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"Wild on the inside, rare on the outside, but wonderful (...) 'Beast' takes a handful of exhausted elements (...) and manages to produce something fresh, fierce and quite impressive."
The Guardian
"A magisterial lesson of simmering emotions (...) Pearce is very good at showing the small touches of transgression that this relationship entails."
Roger Ebert
"It features a truly breakthrough performance (maybe two) and announces writer/director Michael Pearce as a talent to watch".
Variety
"Upgrading a sleeping-with-the-enemy premise familiar from countless B-thrillers with a faintly mythic aura and cool psychosexual shading, 'Beast' also sustains a fresh, frank feminine perspective through Jessie Buckley?s remarkable lead performance".
New York Times
