"You're wounded. I can help you," Pascal tells Moll the first time the future lovers meet.
We know he's talking about more than her hand, bloodied when she used it to crush splintered glass.
Soon you're wondering who is the wounded one.
Beast takes place on the British Island of Jersey where it was also filmed. And there's a claustrophobic sensation of being trapped.
Is it that feeling you get when you paid to see a movie and think you have to stick it out no matter what?
Maybe.
Certainly the couple sitting behind the Movie Slut chuckling and whispering randomly were not into it.
On the other hand, you might be riveted by the sensational actors (Jessie Buckley & Johnny Flynn), and eerie, twisty drama. There's a serial killer on the loose. Could it be one of the lovers?
One thing's for sure. You won't leave the theater whistling, "Hey there Jersey Girl." Or any other tune.
