The Beasts (2022)
5/10
Lost its way in the final act!
27 November 2023
The first two acts are fine. It is where the writing neatly inaugurates the core drama and the conflict. It's where we are introduced to the characters and get to witness the animosities that have only recently materialized.

With some eye-pleasing cinematography and amazing performances, the script kept me fairly engaged, and my anticipation gradually grew to greater heights, but then came the final act, and it messed everything up.

Not only did the pacing take a hit, the intensity went down too, and everything the writing had achieved up until that point was reduced to ashes and burned to the ground!

I'm more frustrated than angry.
