In a near future where artificial intelligence reigns, human emotions have become a threat. To get rid of it, Gabrielle must purify her DNA by diving back into her past lives. There she finds Louis, her great love. But a fear invades him, the presentiment that a catastrophe is brewing.
« The Beast sees Bertrand Bonello reach heights in risk-taking. Ambitious and accomplished on a formal level, the film multiplies its borrowings from genre cinema to characterize and offer a unique atmosphere to each of the eras depicted. »
★★★½ – LE DEVOIR
« Their research on dreams, virtual vertigo, and nightmarish imagination deeply innervates The Beast and finds an incredible outcome there. »
– LE MONDE
«Having wanted to deliver “a plea to stay alive”, the filmmaker offers a reflection on the impact of artificial intelligence in human relationships where, to better convince, the cerebral boldly prevails over the sentimental.»
★★★★ – LA PRESSE
