MaXXXine Ratings & Reviews
- jonathanmochrie3d agoCracking end to a fantastic trilogy. This really captured the pearl clutching of the 80s.
- afbusiJanuary 10, 2026it was good.
- imredorkaDecember 27, 2025Mia Goth is the number one actress. Good movie
- makdelartNovember 27, 2025References to giallo (which I love), nasty videos... It wasn't bad, but Pearl is definitely the best of the whole trilogy. Goth - sensational throughout.
- sgee34October 13, 2025It was somewhat interesting and a good way to pass the time.
- MrTrivetSeptember 22, 2025MaXXXine closes the trilogy of films starring Mia Goth, a series that feels like a love letter to classic horror cinema. Goth herself is completely in her element here - being the star seems like her destiny, and she moves through this world with a natural ease, as if it was made for her. The film teeters on the edge of excess: campy, hypersexualized, and shameless, much like Hollywood in the 1980s. Violence is used in a vengeful way - as a means of fighting back against abusers - which ties directly into the tradition of liberation and survival that defined many genre classics. Goth shines like a true icon, and while it’s hard to say how long her stardom will last, MaXXXine stands as a striking tribute to an era of cinema where extravagance and horror walked hand in hand.
- ChairSeptember 3, 2025I didn't know it was the third in a series. It's not that great on its own.
- rg9400November 1, 2024Maxxxine was fine. Mia Goth carries the movie, though it was fun to see a variety of actors like Giancarlo Esposito or Lilly Collins play zany characters they don't usually play, even if their appearances are brief overall. The movie has some different shots and editing to give it a bit more flair, though I didn't find any of them particularly memorable. The problem with this one (and X) compared to Pearl is that Maxine Minx is just not that interesting of a character. The idea of ambition at all costs isn't particularly deep, and I thought the movie Pearl had a much more compelling character even if it was played by the same actress. Also, the villain didn't really build suspense or horror. The result is a movie that is doing things differently and has real talent but fails to make a lasting impression.
- CoougeAugust 24, 2025Not as good as the first 2.
- cultfilmlikerApril 10, 2025Immediately, the cinematography is GORGEOUS. Warehouse shots are my Achilles heel. Even the opening retro footage was great tho. Fun, sexy cast! Lackluster bookend to the trilogy. Full of callbacks and Hollywood Easter eggs tho! Real Marshall Applewhite vibes The second and third acts were a little too goofy. Was unenthused by some of the plot especially the second half of the film. I’m sure it was a daunting task to make a follow-up to Pearl but I mean it was in the original plan, right? lol My grandma is named Maxine! 😀
- Splitvision89June 17, 2025ANother great film from Ti West and Mia Goth. This movie has everything you want in an action horro movie: good music, good lighiting, multiple vicious killers, and a chaotic setting. I am sad that the trilogy is over but I will certinly wat them again.
- Ray HopkinDecember 16, 2024Another great entry to this trilogy. Mia Goth is once again brilliant, and the story slowly builds to a great climax that's brings everything full circle. Also a shout out to Kevin Bacon, who is awesome!
- PringulAugust 5, 2025Just a whole load of nonsense saved by a decent score and some stylish shots
- jackmeatMarch 2, 2025My quick rating - 6.5/10. Ti West’s MaXXXine closes out the trilogy that began with the grindhouse horror X and the technicolor brilliance of Pearl. Set in 1980s Hollywood, the film follows an adult film star with aspirations of becoming a mainstream actress, as she finally gets her big break. Mia Goth is brilliant once again as Maxine Minx as she is traversing her way to stardom out of the porn industry. However, her rise to fame is shadowed by a mysterious killer who begins stalking and murdering the starlets of Hollywood. As the bodies pile up, the trail of blood threatens to unearth Maxine’s sinister past. The film is a fascinating blend of late '70s Giallo aesthetics with nods to the '80s video nasty slashers. While it expertly captures the atmosphere of the era, the flick refrains from fully committing to the horror elements that defined the previous entries in the trilogy. This is where the film falters in my opinion. Unlike X, which embraced its grindhouse roots, and Pearl, which thrived on dramatic intensity, MaXXXine tiptoes around the horror genre, often pulling back just when you expect it to dive in. Despite that, this flick remains an entertaining and well-made thriller. The high production values are evident, and West’s direction is as sharp as ever. His ability to write and direct a cohesive trilogy is impressive, and he continues to showcase his talent behind the camera. The film's visual style is stunning, with cinematography that perfectly captures the gritty yet glamorous vibe of 1980s Hollywood. However, as the final chapter in a trilogy that began with such promise, MaXXXine feels to me like the weakest entry. It doesn’t quite match the intensity or impact of its predecessors, leaving you wanting more from what should have been a thrilling conclusion. You know I won't do spoilers but for all of that to be wrapped up in this conclusion was a letdown. Nevertheless, for fans of the series and those who appreciate a well-crafted thriller, this is still worth a watch. Just don’t go in expecting the same level of horror that made the first two installments so memorable.
- PatrikStarJuly 9, 2025Unfortunately, it doesn't quite measure up to X and Pearl, though it has its moments.
