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

Review by dotQuestionmarkXclamationmarkDot

Beau Is Afraid

5/10

Very mixed feelings about this one

I love Hereditary and Midsommar, 2 expectional horror drama movies that have developed the genre further. With ''Beau..'' Aster aspires to mix comedy in the bunch and the result is not that significant as the rest 2 movies. Psychoanalytically ''Beau..'' is very VERY interesting, however cinematically and in terms of narration very uneven, confusing and mediocre. It seems like Aster wanted to include all of his storytelling intelligence in one movie and he ended up lost in translation. All in all, it is not an easy watch, it communicates a constant cry-laughing feeling, that finally moves you. I am not dissapointed neither enthusiastic about it.
