The Beasts

"The Beasts" is a gripping drama about neighbors who don't get along. It's a simmering and tension-filled story that touches on various themes--xenophobia, cultural differences, economic mobility, among others. It's also part psychological thriller and an overall enjoyable watch. The ending is unsatisfying, which is the only thing holding it back from a higher rating. But I would recommend it.
