Entertainment Reviews:
It's TWILIGHT with the sexes reversed....BEAUTIFUL CREATURES is lushly pictorial and not-too-badly acted.
Entertainment Weekly
Writer-director Richard LaGravenese instantly gets the audience on the side of his young protagonists by creating a sympathetic us-against-the-world bond...
Hollywood Reporter
The history that is supposed to hold the lovers in a web of human and supernatural connections owes more to the History Channel than history books. But the film taps into an unexpected understanding of agency.

The Christian Century
Though Beautiful Creatures is occasionally simplistic, and definitely goofy, it's also a genuinely compassionate story of what it's like to make your first adult decisions in a world where nothing is black or white.

You might think of Beautiful Creatures as just another Twilight wannabe. I prefer to think of it as the showcase that a great British actress has been waiting for.

Beautiful Creatures is like the Twilight movies but with a chaperone making sure the boys dance a foot apart from the girls.

BEAUTIFUL CREATURES springs to life whenever Irons, Thompson or Rossum is centerstage...

Product Description:
Lena has just moved to the small, Southern town of Gatlin, where the only person who seems to understand her -- or dream of bigger places or ideas -- is a cute guy named Ethan Wate (Alden Ehrenreich), who recognizes her instantly from the cryptic dreams he's been having every night. Lena is an orphan, and she's come to stay with her mysterious uncle, Macon Ravenwood (Irons), the patriarch of her powerful family. Powerful, because The Ravenwood clan are Casters, born with powers that ordinary mortals don't have, like the ability to move objects, control the elements, and even step out of normal space and time to communicate only with each other. But just as Lena feels ready to open up to Ethan, she discovers that their love is in imminent danger, because when female Casters turn 16, their destiny as either good or evil is revealed. Unwilling to let her nature be dictated by forces outside her control, Lena and Ethan set out together to uncover the strange, secret lore of their families' intertwined histories dating back to the Civil War, and figure out how to grant Lena the power to choose her own destiny.
