Reviews:

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.

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

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.

An absolute piece of crap
Joaquin Phoenix was the main reason I saw this movie and even himself; a great actor, seems mostly lost in a one dimensional unexpressive role.

I was never a fan of Ari Aster; HEREDITARY and MIDSOMMER were too long and boring and the “horror” was very little an nothing really that original.

What he was trying to do here? Everything Everywhere All at Once was a great complex movie; with difficult but precise logic that gives a very refreshing and welcomed message about families; particularly mothers; and when very deserved OSCARs trophies.

Stanley Kubrick EYES WIDE SHUT; did something similar several years ago.

In this case; nothing really makes a lot of sense. It is like short stories without a proper ending; the terrifying neighborhood, the PSHYCO killer, the overprotective family, the theater play in the woods and the return to mother’s home. All start terrifying but never end in any kind of logic; even worse the inexplicable end.

There are lots of rhetoric and frankly boring long moments that if the sound is not good you are going miss a lot (in any case nothing really that interesting); never an explanation of the ridiculous penis shaped monster; the imprisoned twins or the amphitheater statement completely different from what we had seen before.

In brief; it last three hours (it was supposed to last four an perhaps some things could have been properly defined) but you could do a lot of things better; like seen EVERYTHING EVERWHER ALL AT ONCE that is really a FAR BETTER MOVIE and less pretentious.
