    It’s crazy how Sharon Stone and her outfits were so eye-catching that I must admit Adjani was pale next to her

    Johnson’s lens functions as a means of recording the recollections of both personal and collective memory, in line with their relation to all the traumas, atrocities and also the miracles of humanity in an episodic, stream of consciousness format. A profound memoir that touches on intergenerational memory and trauma, and how the echoes of issues like motherhood, violence, and the circle of life are heard and passed down through generations, almost in a domino effect way.

    I hate pigeons too! They have such an ominous presence. 

    Oh boy, this is a layered work of art. I feel like this film is made specifically for me. It was such a transcendental experience to witness your fears and contemporary concerns manifest themselves in a perfectly executed film. 

    In all three timelines, The Beast does an impeccable job in depicting artificiality, as something we have to deal with one way or the other, regardless of the time we live…
