a review of 野兽

I really liked Beast. The cinematography was atmospheric and melancholic, the lead actors gave away convincing performances, the plot kept me interested until the end, and although I suspected the plot twist at an early stage, the story and character development kept me doubting until the end. Jessie Buckley was great, and Johnny Flynn pleasantly reminded me of Rutger Hauer in his young years, when he was still a starting actor over here in the Netherlands. This is emphasized by Flynn's South African accent, which sounds very similar to Hauer's Dutch accent.
