Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Fukunaga gives the film a visual grandeur that makes it feel like it's taking place after the world has ended, and all that's left for Agu is this morass of endless, uncaring violence.
– Alison Willmore,
BuzzFeed News,
10 Nov 2015
fresh:
Fukunaga's hurtling camera and taut cutting keep Beasts of No Nation only just this side of hallucinatory, and Elba is the kind of titanic actor to kick it to a near-mythic level.
– David Edelstein,

fresh:
Attah is an industrious little actor, but his fall from innocence is not delineated with the same force as the carnage.
– Peter Rainer,

fresh:
Idris Elba gives a powerhouse performance as the warlord of a rebel African army that trains children as soldiers. The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor should have his name on it.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
16 Oct 2015
fresh:
Beasts tells a broadly traumatic story and tells it well, but lacks the kinds of specifics that could make it a truly memorable film.
