West (who also wrote) does a decent job evoking the era. He ups the stakes by setting it against the back drop of the Night Stalker case and the decade's Satanic Panic. The Los Angeles locations are authentic including scenes at Universal and Warner Brothers studios. The supporting cast includes Kevin Bacon as a sort of Southern fried Jake Gittes, Elizabeth Debicki as an up and coming film director who aspires to being an artist with a capital "A", Giancarlo Esposito as a very hands on Agent, and Michelle Monaghan and Bobby Cannavale as detectives. They all are good, with Bacon and Cannavale having the juiciest roles. A couple of the lines about Hollywood are amusing throwaways. Still, without Goth, none of it works. She's clearly channeled this character, and you sense it on screen.
On the downside, West insists on including incredibly graphic violence in close-up that once would have earned it an NC-17 (or, at least a trip back to the MPAA). Sure, it's a "horror film", but it feels over the top even in that context. West's experiments in this trilogy over three distinct time periods is more interesting in concept and design than results. MAXXXINE intentionally looks like some modern update on 80s revenge pictures from the likes of Cannon and New World. West seems to think that aping those films but with a "smart" 21st century perspective is enough; But, for all of Goth's fine work (and, to be fair, West's technical skill) it can't help but feel like an empty exercise. For all its attitude it still ends up being just a grindhouse exploitation movie itself. There aren't any true insights nor commentary, just a juiced up modern version of the same old. West has talent (and, for now, Goth), but, his retro obsession is becoming a dead end.
It is certainly the weakest of the 3. I watched it with my family and we all agreed.
It's just not a compelling story, what exactly is the point? The character development is also extremely shallow, I wasn't really rooting for anyone.
Now, I do love the horror film homages, I loved the chase in the movie set, it reminded me of Scream 3.
I also loved seeing the Bates Motel and the House from Psycho.
Visually it's also beautiful. This looks like it was shot on actual film. It is grainy, vibrant, colorful, lots of contrast, the camera work was great. I just love when a film looks like a film and not an amazon ad. The tone was also a mess, it's a bit of a thriller, a bit of a drama, and just a tiny bit of a horror.
Sadly, the story just falls short, it just wasn't the grand epic finale I was expecting.
"X" and "Pearl" were really good and with lots of suspenseful scenes, gory scenes and darker tone!
This one was a little bit more of a thriller drama with some good '80s soundtracks but it's lacks the feelings of suspenseful and scary mood. The killing scenes could be more brutal and much bloodier. There's blood but mid level. There's action but mid level. It's more like a slow burner of who dunn it and the twist at the very end was kinda predictable if you ask me.
Mia Goth remains one of the greatest young actresses of her generation, she's gorgeous. I was pleased by Esposito and Bacon.
It's a 6 out of 10 from me! "X" remain my favourite and "Pearl" the next!
Maxxine is a film that really emphasizes style but falls short in the substance department. While I appreciated the throwbacks to slasher and horror films of the 80s, the plot and execution felt a bit disjointed and lacked coherence. Despite this, the film's unique style ultimately triumphs over its shortcomings. Mia Goth once again delivers an enigmatic performance, though her character felt less compelling compared to the previous instalments in the trilogy.
The third act was somewhat disappointing as it didn't live up to the intense buildup. As a fan of the genre, I found elements to enjoy, but I couldn't help feeling let down by the less-than-epic finale, especially after the thrilling conclusions of the previous two films.

- CuriosidadesMaxine's "Oui" shirt is a reference to Oui, a men's adult pornographic magazine published in the United States featuring explicit nude photographs. Oui ceased publication in 2007.
- Erros de gravaçãoThe Bette Davis quote shown at the beginning of the film is misquoted. It is actually "Until you're known in my profession as a monster, you're not a star."

Maxine Minx: Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to kill me? I crushed her fucking head.
- Cenas durante ou pós-créditosFitting with the film's 80s aesthetic, after the credits, a "Be kind rewind" sticker is shown, like on many video store rentals.
