If you only know Jessie Buckley from her recent Oscar-nominated turns, you owe it to yourself to go back to where her cinematic journey truly caught fire. Michael Pearce’s BEAST is not your typical “girl meets bad boy” thriller; it is a primal, mud-flecked descent into the dark side of freedom and the thin line between victimhood and villainy.
Set against the rugged, windswept backdrop of the Isle of Jersey, Buckley stars as Moll, a 27-year-old tour guide suffocating under the thumb of her domineering, classist mother (played with frostbitten perfection by Geraldine James). Moll is a character defined by “quiet desperation,” a woman whose internal stability is a fraying rope held together by societal politeness.
Everything changes when she meets Pascal (Johnny Flynn), a rugged, mysterious outsider who represents everything her stifling family loathes. Their chemistry is “combustible,” a wild, animalistic attraction that feels as dangerous as the landscape they inhabit.
The genius of BEAST lies in its ambiguity. As a serial killer begins targeting young women on the island, Pascal becomes the prime suspect. Moll chooses to defend him, not necessarily because she is sure of his innocence, but because she sees a kindred darkness in him—a “beast” that matches her own.
Buckley’s performance is a masterclass in shifting states. She moves between dazed vulnerability and a terrifying, cold-eyed strength that suggests she is a “woman you don’t want to mess with”.
