Beau is Afraid remains as one of my top 3 favourite movies of 2023.
I may be a little biased as someone that favours Ari Aster, but holy that film has so much integrity. It's a film thats stands between a surrealist tragicomedy & psychological horror
Great cinematography, very goofy tropes, intense acting, punctual score, and the sound design in the film really shakes you in a great way. The slow-burn excited me as a matter of fact.
Yes, people hate the film primarily due to its high inaccessibility. But Ari knows that and intends for that, as he made clear in various places. That's why I like him and the film.

Great acting, great mise-en-scene, especially the costumes and prosthetics, good cinematography, some tense and darkly-comedic scenes, and somewhat interesting plotline. Unfortunately, the rest needs alot of work, especially the post-production quality.
The sound effects are too fake, shot transitions are quite unserious and overused - which ruins the atmosphere established by dramatic moments, the editing and graphic design needs more variety and effort put in - as there are moments where the titlecards look like PowerPoint presentations, the sound editing and audio quality is really not good. Whilst the film may be low-budget, it should at least have audio that's is mixed consistently, rather than leaving parts in the film unexpectedly loud and distorted. The colour-grading is decent though it couldve been a bit more detailed and nuanced
So in conclusion, the acting and mise-en-scene is what makes this film amazing, except that it's post-production quality has downgraded it a lot.
