Beast

2018 drama

Rating: 15/20

Plot: A 20-something still living with her parents falls for a mysterious man who might be a serial killer. Her mother does not approve.

I'm probably not the right person to ask about this movie because I had trouble staying awake in the theater. It's too bad because this had great performances from the two leads--Jessie Buckley as Moll and Johnny Flynn as Pascal--as well as a stifling mother played by Geraldine James, and the intricate pacing and mysterious vibe really got under my skin. This is a movie that kept me guessing until the very end and, likely because I kept dozing off, even after it had ended.
