Beast
On her 27th birthday, however, Moll's life takes a surprising turn. After bailing out on her own party, she goes dancing at a local club. And when a drunken jerk tries to force himself on her, she's defended by a stranger—a grimy guy with his own aura of menace. Ordinarily, Moll would steer well clear of somebody like this.

Beast Movie Review
The acting in Beast is extraordinary from beginning to end. As Pascal, Johnny Flynn transitions from James Dean to Ted Bundy and back again, and the seeming ease by which he does this makes it impossible to know with 100% certainty if he's truly evil or simply misunderstood. As Moll, Jessie Buckley delivers a truly incredible performance, with ...
