Joaquin Phoenix and Armen Nahapetian in Beau Is Afraid (2023)

Review by Xstal

Beau Is Afraid

4/10

Interminably Long for What it Delivers, Which is Very Little...

If you lived in Beau's world you'd have nightmares all the time, as the characters and encounters round the bend they would entwine, there's confusion and blind panic, just about everyone is manic, and if they're not, they may have tendencies, that would leave you disinclined; as we journey through a life, or are we really on a trip, all heading to a funeral, or are we heading to some ship, where an emperor of metaphor, is exposed, disrobed and stripped, and you may feel, after three hours, you've been part of some grand trick.

Bored to tears for the most part, although the performances are great, as you'd expect, but the relevance to me was close to zero and as such, it drowned in its own effluent.
