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. Go to Full Review Siddhant Adlakha Observer Oct 12, 2026
2.5/4
Its acoustic and human elements seldom cohere around its playfully structured story, which justifies the movie’s self-reflexive musical gimmick, but little else. Go to Full Review Kyle Smith Wall Street Journal Oct 10, 2026
Saturated with convincing detail about the world of classical music and film scoring, the movie is a compelling character study marred only by a certain episodic quality. Go to Full Review André Didyme-Dôme Rolling Stone en Español 4 hrs ago
Behemoth! invites us to undertake this exercise and reminds us that, however extraordinary our talent, there will always be aspects of our own existence that we will have to learn to interpret. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Travis Hopson Punch Drunk Critics 1 day ago
3.5/5
Behemoth! is such a beautiful celebration of the music that enriches the movies we love, and the musicians whose entire lives are consumed by it. Go to Full Review Olga Artemyeva ScreenAnarchy 3 days ago
A film made with a lot of love for both music and cinema engraved in it. It’s just too bad that it's also a film that isn’t willing to take any risks when it comes to its human characters. Or canine ones, for that matter. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
