Fukunaga's visual knack for wading into dark, perilous atmospheres to capture the trauma that haunts his characters comes to full fruition in Beasts of No Nation.
October 16, 2015
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.

The ugly world portrayed here isn't for all appetites, but it is depicted with a gripping authenticity.
May 24, 2016
Fukunaga packs the scenes with a documentary-like detail.

The film is very well shot in tough circumstances and has a central performance from Idris Elba that can only be described as mind-boggling. Abraham Attah as the boy is pretty good too.

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.

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

Beasts of No Nation wants desperately to be progressive and challenge the cinematic landscape, but it suffers from Cary Fukunaga's stylistic and creative implosion.

A spectacle of free brutality that gives amazing scenes. [Full Review in Spanish]
October 16, 2015
Beasts tells a broadly traumatic story and tells it well, but lacks the kinds of specifics that could make it a truly memorable film.
May 03, 2016
It wants to immerse itself entirely in Agu's experience, yet the filmmaker can't resist standing aloft in scenes that underscore the soldiers' ages and their actions, and pointing out easy ironies.
October 16, 2015
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.
