Pedro Pascal's 'Behemoth!' Divides Critics as Oscar Contender
Tony Gilroy’s return to feature filmmaking, 'Behemoth!', has sparked intense debate at the New York Film Festival. While Variety praises Pedro Pascal’s restrained performance as a potential Oscar breakthrough, The Guardian criticizes the film’s disjointed structure and lack of emotional impact. Slant Magazine offers a mixed but generally positive view, highlighting the film’s intricate non-linear narrative and its tribute to film scoring. The film faces a unique Oscar hurdle due to its nine-composer score, which may not fit current Academy rules. It is set for a wide release on December 4.
