## Description

Beautiful Creatures flies into the otherworldly romantic sphere occupied by the Twilight films, Buffy, The Vampire Diaries, True Blood--even Charmed. Based on the best-selling young adult book by Kami Garcia, the film adaptation of Beautiful Creatures tells a romantic tale between two young people with mysterious, dark backgrounds--and more than one secret. The young stars, Alice Englert as Lena and Alden Ehrenreich as Ethan, to whom she's mysteriously drawn, have a sweet, believable chemistry. And because it's directed by pro Richard LaGravenese (the underrated but fabulous Living Out Loud, P.S. I Love You), Beautiful Creatures is blessed with high production values; a quick, satisfying pace; and a supporting cast to die for (maybe literally). Emma Thompson, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, and Jeremy Irons, especially, seem to be enjoying themselves immensely as titular grownups in a teenage love story. This cast--and Lena's unexpected but badass supernatural power--all help add up to a delicious guilty pleasure. Beautiful Creatures shines with much more polish than some of the Twilight films, but carries just as much dramatic yearning. As well it should.

Review: May God bless whoever made this movie. They did good. - When you watch this film, forget that you even know there's a book that this is supposed to be based on. The book is fantastic, but this is so different with all of the other spare, gorgeous details such as Spanish moss in the trees, Macon looking nothing like I imagined him, the wrought iron gates of Ravenwood--the list goes on. It's a beautiful movie, in and of itself, and I recommend it to anyone who needs to be reminded that underneath all the not-thrilling and occasionally repulsive features of Southern living, including PTAs, Daughters of the _____ War groups, pearls, gloves, and lipstick, there is and always has been magic and strangeness here, and it's gonna keep on keeping on even when "fine, upstanding citizens" try to stomp it out. This is a story of hope. You can be different and survive. It's likely not everyone will like you, and history can repeat itself in the sense of people starting witch hunts, but you will be okay, especially if you find somebody else who gets your weirdness and loves you (as a friend or partner). The plot is good and resembles the book, but the visual depiction is so different that they're easily separated. I am deeply disappointed that "Sixteen Moons" and Marian didn't make it into the movie, but the latter is a fair trade for more screentime of Viola Davis as Amma. I cannot imagine anyone who could have driven that role home better than Viola Davis. I love that the teens are unknown actors, or at least not celebrities. Not knowing them from any other roles just makes this movie more real, and believe me, their acting is stellar. Being unknown doesn't mean they're​ not good at what they do. I think they probably left out too much of the later-critical pieces, like the three great-aunts, to turn this into a franchise, but I still want them to make a series of films, too, because, out of all of the franchises, this one deserves to become one most, as far as I'm concerned. I love this movie so, so much. It is gorgeous and fantastic. As a lover of books and a reluctant screen-watcher, I love this movie, and I cannot tell you how many times I have watched it. I cannot say enough to speak highly enough of this film as I feel it deserves. My favorite quote from the film that sure as anything ain't in the book? Amma: "God created all things, didn't He? It's only man that goes and decides which are mistakes."
Review: An Underrated Gem Well Worth Your Time - Given the very mixed critical response to Beautiful Creatures when the movie was released to theaters, I was hesitant to invest in a copy of my own, but I'm more than glad I did. The film is an adaptation of the first of four books in the "Caster Chronicles" -- the story of the star-crossed romance between young Ethan Wate and Lena Duchannes. Ethan's a well-meaning teenager trying to shake free of the stifling normality of Gatlin, S.C. Lena's an outcast -- her family owns much of the town, is decidedly eccentric, and -- it is rumored -- have dark powers. In fact, Lena's a witch, or as they prefer to be called, a "caster," and forbidden to love a mortal lest the consequences be disastrous. She's also nearing her 16th birthday, when she, like other casters before her, will be claimed by either the Light or the Dark. Despite the strenuous objections of Lena's extended family, who see Ethan as a distraction potentially keeping her from being claimed by the Light (or, in the case of Lena's mother, by the Dark), she and Ethan are drawn to each other by a connection they neither understand nor can deny. For good or ill, their fates are inextricably bound to each other. Beautiful Creatures undoubtedly suffered from competition with mega-budget YA competition (Twilight, Hunger Games), which is unfortunate. This is not, nor was ever intended to be, a special effects laden blockbuster. It's just the opposite -- an intimate, beautifully crafted and acted film that captures the angst and humor of teenage love with the added complication of the conflict between mortals and casters. Aided by a stellar supporting cast including Emma Thompson, Eileen Atkins and Jeremy Irons (who effortlessly portrays Macon Ravenwood, Lena's arch, sly, menacing, and ultimately compassionate uncle), the two young leads more than carry the film. Alden Ehrenreich, is charming, funny, and completely believable as the determined (and sometimes baffled) Ethan. Alice Englert beautifully captures the lovely Lena, forced to abandon the young man she loves in order to protect him from forces he cannot comprehend. There isn't a false note or contrived moment in either performance. Small and intimate to be sure, Beautiful Creatures is easily a better film with far better performances than the competition at the time, particularly the Twilight saga. It is well worth your time.
