The Beast

CriticsCritics: 75
AudienceAudience: 6.3

In a near future where emotions are treated as dangerous, a woman undergoes a procedure meant to erase strong feelings by immersing her in memories from other lives. Across different eras, she encounters a mysterious man and experiences an intense connection that challenges the promise of emotional purification.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like ambitious, surreal romances such as Osmosis or Certified Copy; Not for you if you prefer clear plots, brisk pacing, or conventional science fiction.
