Beau Is Afraid (2023)

Beau Is Afraid (2023). Beau Is Afraid: Directed by Ari Aster. With Joaquin Phoenix, Patti LuPone, Amy Ryan, Nathan Lane. Following the sudden death of his mother, a mild-mannered but anxiety-ridden man confronts his darkest fears as he embarks on an epic, Kafkaesque odyssey back home.

“It takes a bit to let this movie truly sink in. It is one of the craziest fever-dream odyssey style movies Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. Ari Aster absolutely broke out of the style of Hereditary and midsommar. This was its own monster. It had parts that were extremely anxiety provoking, or were hilarious, boring or extremely intriguing. It was almost painful to watch, but afterwards i canu0026#39;t stop thinking about it (in a good way). I am very impressed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI think most people will be turned off/ not get the movie, but for some it will totally click. Itu0026#39;s peak absurdism, and probably the most fascinating depiction of anxiety Iu0026#39;ve seen in film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of the only flaws I have with this movie is the sheer run time. It is extremely long, and will test your patience in parts. There are parts that couldu0026#39;ve been cut out, sure, but nothing that truly took away from the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWould I recommend watching it to most? No. But you should still see it regardless. It will more than likely impress you.”
