Zur Auflockerung etwas völlig unweihnachtliches: Jessie Buckley spielt ein ziemliches Biest hier und verliebt sich in den irgendwie auch recht animalischen Johnny Flynn. Er riecht gut, ist aber möglicherweise der Mädchenmörder, der die Insel Jersey in Angst und Schrecken versetzt. Sie geben ein hübsches Paar, aber man beginnt schon relativ früh zu ahnen, daß es kein gutes Ende mit ihnen nehmen wird.

ENCOUNTER (2021) Grade: C-

I had an intriguing start, the 2nd act wasn't all that interesting after the 1st plot twist. Ending didn't save it. Good acting. #RizAhmed is a talent.

Beast (2017)

It’s really a shame that the film wasn’t able to deliver on what it suggested to be setting up in the trio of characters between the brow-beaten Moll, her domineering mother, and the strange new figure of Pascal. Hillary is vicious and manipulative toward her daughter, blowing hot and cold to keep Moll under her thumb. In the opening, Hillary decides to announce another, more favored daughter’s pregnancy at Moll’s birthday party, and later infantilizes her by demanding to know if she knows right from wrong and humiliates her in front of her family before turning on a dime and saying that they should all be friends. This sort of psychological torture creates a figure primed for any sort of opportunity for escape or rebellion. Pascal is introduced scaring off someone making untoward gestures at Moll by firing a gun into the air. He’s a coarse presence, both in the face of the “polite society” tax-dodging British occupants of Jersey due to his lower class status, and in his risky behaviors. But is he risky or dangerous? It’s one thing to drive too fast or encourage someone to follow them along up a cliff for a romantic kiss, and another to be a killer. Is Pascal grooming Moll, or is he just a bit of a roughneck? The film veers sharply off course, ironically as it delves into Moll’s interiority. She has a spotty background herself which comes to light, having attacked a classmate out of self-defense or revenge, she states both. Her character shifts dramatically from a put-upon victim seeking an escape to a desperately selfish target for ire by the community, behaving ever more erratically. For a stretch this becomes my least favorite subgenre, the tar-and-feathers community bullying thriller such as Kristoffer Borgli’s Dream Scenario or Thomas Vinterberg’s Jagten. These situations are always focused on everyone behaving like complete shitheels, angry mob and victim/target alike. It’s a lazy way to put viewers through an emotional wringer. Once that’s dispensed of, we enter… Moll’s villain era? This is at best a woefully misguided handling of the nature vs nurture debate, with our waif suddenly wanting to become Bonnie and Clyde or something, and then a non-answer as to whether it’s Pascal or the random Portuguese dude as the killer. So either xenophobia or poor understanding of mental health wins. Cool!
