Beasts of No Nation
Directed by Cary Joji FukunagaWhere to Watch Beasts of No Nation
- Kevin Ward2 July 2025Brutal depiction of child soldiers, stripped of their innocence and thrust into a war without a clear objective. No delineation between good and evil. It’s fairly nuanced in that regard. Fukunaga’s direction and camera work are stellar creating some gorgeous and simultaneously haunting imagery. It’s one of the more harrowing films to experience and reminded me somewhat of Elem Klimov’s Come and See.
