- Garrett Wilkins6. Juni 2026As an A24 production, Beau Is Afraid feels right at home alongside the studio's most unconventional releases. Ari Aster fully embraces the company's tendency to abandon traditional storytelling rules in favor of something stranger, more personal, and considerably more divisive. While I ultimately found Midsommar to be the stronger and more focused film, there's no denying the ambition on display here. At over three hours, Beau Is Afraid is messy, excessive, self-indulgent, and often completely fascinating. Joaquin Phoenix delivers one of the best performances of his career, carrying the film's relentless anxiety with a level of commitment that makes even its most absurd moments believable. Patti LuPone is equally excellent as Beau's domineering mother, while Parker Posey leaves a surprisingly strong impression despite her relatively limited screen time. Whether a scene is hilarious, uncomfortable, or completely baffling, the cast never stops treating the material with absolute sincerity. I can't honestly say Beau Is Afraid works all the time. There are stretches where the film disappears so far into its own nightmare logic that it risks losing the audience entirely, and some of Aster's ideas are more interesting than they are effective. Yet I found it impossible not to admire. In an era where so many films feel engineered to appeal to everyone, Beau Is Afraid feels determined to appeal to exactly the people willing to meet it on its own terms. It's the kind of ambitious, uncompromising project that only a studio like A24 would consistently champion. Aster takes an enormous swing, and while it doesn't always connect, I found the film's originality and willingness to reject convention far more memorable than many technically cleaner movies that play things safe.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ25. Dezember 2025Beau is Afraid demands us to see it again. It basically screams to be rewatched, paused, rewound, dissected, and examined. The brilliance of writer and director Ari Aster is that these repeat viewings will never ever help you get this movie. It's never going to click and magically make sense - going back to the well will only deepen your appreciation for the craft of the film.
- cultfilmliker30. Juli 2025*me, last year, ignorant* ⭐️⭐️ *me, this year, enlightened* ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (It’s still too long) Yeah the dude on the cruise is insanely creepy. Great acting! Great cast! Love the young actress essentially playing Parker Posey in Dazed & Confused! Someone needs to ask Ari what happened in his attic when he was a kid
- Kevin Ward3. Juli 2025Beau is afraid….and then he grows a pair. Honestly this movie is exhausting. A mommy issues fever dream with a Herculean runtime that will likely satisfy Ari Aster fans and simultaneously repulse his detractors. I find myself mostly in the middle, admiring almost every ounce of craft on display and simultaneously never wanting to watch this again. The Free t-shirt was pretty cool though. And Birthday Boy Stab Man….you will always be famous.
