| Showings |
In the not too distant future, a woman attempts to undergo a mind-altering procedure to erase her feelings of unhappiness and trauma.
At the center of this cinematic labyrinth is Ms. Seydoux. Both a Bond girl and a darling of the European arthouse, she gives a performance here of astonishing, chameleonic intensity.
★★★★
Bertrand Bonello’s “The Beast” is an audacious interdimensional romance, techno-thriller and Los Angeles noir rolled up in one.
★★★★
MacKay and Seydoux have a natural frisson together whatever the era, one sparked from the fact that he’s always changing, and she never does.
