Beau Is Afraid

Biggest waste of 3 hours. I was quite literally pulling my hair out watching this. Some thoughts should just remain on paper and don’t need to be translated into film.

8.1 - the key is to shed any & all expectations. This isn’t Aster’s other movies. This is abstract, weird, confusing, ridiculous, upsetting, & funny. It’s not a horror - it’s an absurdist meta comedy. If it can go wrong in Beau’s neurotic mind it will, & that’s the beauty.

Very conflicted about my feelings on this. Overall, thought it was very well put together. But I resent the stories about people who “walked out” of the theatre just as I resent people who call it “genius.” I think it deserves another watch, absolutely, and overall I enjoyed it.

wtf was that ending (you KNOW what i’m talking about)… i understand that there’s nuance, but this was just not for me

so trippy thank you ari aster for another amazing movie this was a brain blast

Wth was it
