Beau 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.
