Antoine and Olga, a French couple, have been living in a small village in Galicia for a long time. They practice eco-responsible agriculture and restore abandoned houses to facilitate repopulation. Everything should be idyllic except for their opposition to a wind turbine project that creates a serious conflict with their neighbors. The tension will rise to the point of irreparability.

Chris Knight · Original-Cin 100.00/100.00

There is not much more you can ask of a film than that it provides you with another perspective, a new angle to look at old problems. The Beasts does that.

Time 3.00/5.00

野兽指的是矇昧未开化以暴力行事的原住农名,但叙述的视角选择的是追去怡然自得心平气静的法国移民,在面对没什么文化的原住民对更好生存的极度渴望面前,诗酒田园体现的十分苍白,只能看到非常无力的挣扎。节奏确实慢影响观感

Carlos Aguilar · Los Angeles Times 90.00/100.00

As with all great moral dilemmas, Sorogoyen makes it impossible to entirely side with either party without considering that each of them has been victimized by larger social ills.
