The Beasts (2022)
6/10
A tragedy without a real catharsis? No, thanks
7 May 2023
If you wanna feel frustrated, angry and fill your soul with sadness, this is your movie. This is a tragedy without a real catharsis. I thought this was a psychological drama/thriller, something like STRAW DOGS. It is not. This is a slow drama, depressing as a movie can be. I can't rate it lower because it is a good movie, well acted and well directed. Great cinematography, characters from real life, not caricatures. 130 minutes but the pace was good, there are not many boring scenes. I am not letting my resentment clouding my judgement, this is a good movie. But it made me so angry and sad that i regret i watched it. I love art movies, i don't want for every movie i watch to bring me joy, but this was too depressing.

So, if you like watching movies like this, you should watch it.

I shouldn't.

6/10.
