Electric Medway Cinema Club presents... Beast (15) directed by Michael Pearce
🎞️ Moll (Jessie Buckley, WICKED LITTLE LETTERS, WOMEN TALKING) is 27 and still living at home, stifled by the small island community around her and too beholden to her family to break away. When she meets Pascal, a free-spirited stranger, a whole new world opens up to her and she begins to feel alive for the first time, falling madly in love. Finally breaking free from her family, Moll moves in with Pascal (Johnny Flynn, EMMA, OPERATION MINCEMEAT) to start a new life. But when he is arrested as the key suspect in a series of brutal murders, she is left isolated and afraid.
Choosing to stand with him against the suspicions of the community, Moll finds herself forced to make choices that will impact her life forever.

Stay and Chat
After the screening, we invite you to join a relaxed post-film discussion at local craft beer pub Wolfe & Castle. Share your thoughts on the story, performances, cinematography or whatever aspect of the film resonated with you. It's a casual opportunity to connect with fellow film enthusiasts and exchange perspectives. No film analysis expertise required – just bring your impressions and experiences!
About Cinema Club
