In the French countryside, wild boars ravaging crops spark an open war between farmers and members of a gentlemen's hunting club, who feed the game between hunts. Brun, a bankrupt farmer, struggles to keep his farm afloat. When the club's president pushes him to his limits, Brun shoots him and disappears. A year later, Fulda, a volatile police officer just transferred to the region, leads the investigation. Still struggling after a recent breakup, and as wild boars proliferate across the region, he is pushed to the brink of sanity.

There's nothing more thrilling than seeing the rich and powerful get their sanguine comeuppance, anchored by characters whose flaws make them easy to root for and even easier to love. Go to Full Review Ben Kenigsberg RogerEbert.com May 25
Its dark but wacky humor bears a similarity to Dumont’s recent, tongue-in-cheek output. Go to Full Review John Bleasdale Next Best Picture May 27
8/10
Ultimately, this is a beautifully put-together and occasionally brilliant comedy with winning performances from a deep bench of character actors. There are enough surprises throughout, and enough punkish energy as it goes through its paces. Go to Full Review Chris Mello In Review Online May 24
Off-beat flourishes and genuine investment in character improve upon an already sturdy genre framework to mark Too Many Beasts as a notably exciting debut. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) May 23
This is another film where the themes were interesting, but I just could not get behind the broad humor. Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com May 20
