“Instead, this sensual, cerebral work simply reminds us what is possible when ambitious filmmakers put their mind to it — and how long the result can stay in ours.”
★★★★★ Danny Leigh, Financial Times

“Bonello has created a wholly original work that pulses with prescience.”
★★★★★ Steph Green, Empire Magazine

“The Beast won’t be for everyone, but submit to its looping structure and beguiling dream logic, and this extremely loose adaptation of a novella by Henry James weaves a bewitching, if a trifle head-swimming spell.”
★★★★ Wendy Ide, Guardian

“Like a painting, The Beast is best seen once, pondered and then left as a memory.”
★★★★ Maddy Mussen, London Evening Standard

“To paraphrase the smartest line from Tenet, don’t try to understand The Beast, you just have to feel it.”
★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times
