3/4

When ‘Behemoth!' strikes an atonal note, Pascal’s performance, and Gilroy’s trusting direction of his leading man, drown it out.

4/5

For some, Behemoth! may feel like a rocky road to nowhere, but Gilroy’s wit and wordplay do a lot to enliven the journey.

4/5

Behemoth! isn’t flawless, and it’s never in a hurry, but it knows what it wants to be. Pascal, Wilde and Arnett liven it up, and the music holds it together.

Behemoth! is not up to Gilroy’s best work; there’s a smugness to its snappy banter, and it’s a little too uncritically enamored of its immensely privileged white-middle-aged-playboy protagonist.

C+

Behemoth! successfully executes a grand, music-driven narrative. The laser focus on Alex limits other character development, but Gilroy's experimental storytelling and hard-hitting emotional moments leave an impression.

2.5/5

The fragmented narrative structure prevents an emotional centre from forming, making this a cold viewing experience beyond its high musical ambitions.
