Beasts is an adaptation of a book by the same name by Uzodinma Iweala. Beasts follows an orphaned child soldier fighting with guerilla soldiers in an unnamed African country.
This film was acquired by Netflix and was released this October simultaneously in theaters and on Netflix.
Beasts premiered at the Venice Film Festival and the Telluride Film Festival. You can stream it on Netflix now!
Make no mistake, Beasts is a brutal film. I highly recommend it, but it's no picnic. If you can, see it on the big screen. It's absolutely worth it.
