Reviews:

Beau is Afraid certainly boasts an incredibly rich and intricate narrative, filled with a plethora of allegories, symbolisms, and thematic elements. However, one may question whether the complexity of the film is worth sacrificing entertainment value. In attempting to weave together these complex themes, Ari Aster has created a narrative that was very difficult for me to fully process.

During the first hour of the movie, I found myself engrossed in the story, with tense scenes that blurred the lines between what is real and what is fake. However, as the film progressed, these surreal scenes became increasingly wild and disjointed, leaving me feeling disconnected from the narrative. I found myself constantly asking questions about what was happening, how we got there, and why things were unfolding the way they were. This detachment ultimately detracted from my overall enjoyment of the film.

At three hours in length, Beau is Afraid can be a daunting task for audiences to undertake. While a well-paced film can fly by (Avatar: The Way of Water and Babylon for instance), this one felt like a slog at times, and I found myself frequently checking the clock to see how much time was left. However, despite these shortcomings, the technical execution of the film was truly exceptional. Aster’s direction was brilliant, with stunning camera work and beautiful cinematography. The acting was also top-notch, with Joaquin Phoenix delivering what was arguably the best performance of the year so far. The supporting cast, including Amy Ryan, Patti LuPone, and Nathan Lane, also gave standout performances.

All in all, Beau is Afraid was quite a letdown for me. While Aster undoubtedly has a brilliant mind and a talent for storytelling, this film may have suffered from a lack of restraint. Nonetheless, the technical prowess and stellar performances are certainly noteworthy and should not be overlooked.

Score: 41% ❌
Verdict: Poor

Right from the start we appreciate that “Beau” is going to have an hard time with life. Luckily we skip forwards forty years and find him living an almost siege existence in a lawless city where sirens and racket keep him awake for most of the night. It’s after one such a lively night that he suddenly awakes realising that he must get to the airport to go and visit his wealthy mother. Suffice to say, events conspire and he doesn’t quite make the trip… He calls to alert his mother only to get the UPS man on the phone standing over an headless corpse. His mother? Well he now has to make a journey – without a functioning credit card – in time for her funeral. What now ensue are a series of mildly entertaining but largely just too surreal escapades that marry fantasy and fiction on his trip. This is a very strong effort from Joaquin Phoenix as the gentle but almost permanently bamboozled “Beau”. He gives himself fully to the part and engenders frustration and sympathy successfully as the story progresses – in fits and starts – towards it’s conclusion. Nathan Lane chips in well – if completely over the top – too, as surgeon “Roger” and we save the best til last with a rather bizarre denouement that sees Patti LuPone (his mother, “Mona”) in an whole new light. At times the writing can be witty but for me this is just way, way too long and episodic. It’s as if Ari Aster had an accumulation of ideas for his character that he has, almost “Forrest Gump” style, stitched together in the hope that what emerges at the end has been enjoyable to watch. I’m not great at the outlandish. It’s not that it needs a solid beginning, middle and end but somehow I prefer the plot to be rooted in something just a bit more tangible than this is. I am glad that I saw it in a cinema, but I can safely say I won’t watch it again.

Groundbreaking
I definitely have to let this one sit with me for a little, so my rating may slightly move around this week.

I’ll just be honest. There are no words to describe the immensity of Ari Aster’s scope in Beau Is Afraid. The only way I can describe at the moment is this: It’s as if Aster had a dream, woke up, somehow remembered it all, and again somehow, made it into a movie.

This was a lot for a Tuesday, but the 45 minute drive and $25 seating was totally worth it. Even with almost having a panic attack trying to find parking. Worth it.

Also, there’s one scene (that’s really more of an act) that when it ended, I had to pick my jaw up off the popcorn tattered floor. Not only because of what it meant for the film, but what it will mean for cinema and its future. Without giving spoilers, I’ll say that it perfectly blends realities of animation, stop motion, and much more, into a truly extraordinary moment.

Easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
So artsy! So post-modern! So edgy and eccentric! (Super sarcasm with extra eye rolls)

Seriously, it was horrible. I don’t think I’ve ever rolled my eyes so much watching a movie or audibly groaned multiple times in public theater.

Is the new Hollywood trend to try and just be as weird as possible because they think that’s artistic?

I love weird. I even love weird and dark. I also love art. This movie is art maybe, but it is bad art. A lot of bad screaming in the first half. Thankfully I had earplugs in my purse.

You know that feeling when someone you don’t even know very well starts going into great detail about a dream they had? And it’s not interesting at all, but you have to pretend it’s interesting and you’re thinking “yeah that’s great, I have weird dreams too. So what? Why would I care about some random person’s dream?” That’s what this movie was like. But much longer and much more pointless.
