Three interwoven stories of youth navigating identity, first love, petty crime, and gun violence in a Southern, American town. Brimming with energy and style, Beast Beast captures what it means to come of age in an era marked by technology and social media, where violent clashes awaken dormant passions and teenagers are faced with growing up all too quickly.

1/5

The film only succeeds at peddling barely tolerable coming-of-age cliches.

For all the movie's soupiness, we're still left with a handful of memorable characters at a pivotal time in their emotional development, and for that, "Beast Beast" can boast a well-intentioned, caring integrity.

2.5/5

It's in the push to explain a moral that it stumbles over its own good intentions.

3 / 5

Requires a certain level of tact that Beast Beast is thankfully capable of, even when some facets of the ideas it introduces don't always end up feeling fully explored.

4/5

A dramatization of how crumbling families, malleable values, and identities propped up by digital validation can create an increasingly trigger-happy society.
