The final shot of Pearl smiling and crying while credits roll was fucking insane. I don’t even know how she did that
That was SO GOOD
It made my skin crawl- damn, that drove home the entire film and Pearl’s whole arc for me.
That was soooo unsettling. I found myself going oof I should leave...
Thanks for spoiling it.
@@llamasarus1 girl it's the credits... nothing life changing 😭
Everyone keeps praising Pearl, i am so glad Mia Goth is getting the recognition she deserves cause she was so amazing in X
Omg hi fellow Zzavid lover
W pfp
Love you Chu! Can’t wait to see your Pearl reaction! ❤
CHUUUU PLEASE REACT TO THIS WHEN YOU CAN
Mia Goth was adorable in *'EMMA'* :

THE NINE MINUTE MONOLOGUE!!!?? Not even gonna lie I cried through it. Pearl’s emotions about wanting to be loved, really hit the nail on the head for how I feel sometimes. So powerful.
THOSE WERE NINE MINUTES!? It felt like two, I ate that whole scene up, couldn't even blink.
I am socked it was 9 minutes. It went so quickly.
I feel so bad that I related to that monologue in a lot of ways lol (other than the murder and cheating bit lmao)
@@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998 saaaame dude, i watched this while in a depressive episode and i could not relate more i cried and cried even harder when i realized my feelings are only being validated by a literal murderer lmaoooo
“I’m not really a good person,” I remember when she said that, I wondered do we all feel this way deep down? It was great!
I generally like when villains in movies are humanized as long as doing so doesn’t compromise the villain’s status as a villain (ie; don’t try to justify their actions, just make them feel like a person instead of a caricature)
yes I agree! I think Pearl keeps a great balance
Cue:Dexter
The Devils Rejects made you have feelings for a family of deranged serial killers esp. toward the ending of the movie. I cried during Freebird playing on the radio as they went on together towards death. Still an amazing film showing villainy and human emotion together. Great Review! I also enjoyed this ! Been a fan of Ty since Abc’s of death and onto Vhs. The Innkeepers omg brilliant piece like a 70s artsy piece about youth coming of age film like japanese crazy film from 77 House.
Mia’s monologue w Mitsy.. I honestly could’ve listened to her for an hour. And the credit screen. She’s so talented.
it was insane i was surprised it kept going, soo talented!!!
I knew she was gon kill mitsy but geez……
I can’t believe you didn’t mention that iconic FINAL SHOT for the end credit sequence. By far the most brilliant and disturbing final shot in a horror movie I ever seen. That scene alone is Oscar worthy from Mia Goth. Absolutely staggering.
You are soooooo right. That was as good as anything in the movie.
Did you know that ending was unplanned? It wasn’t in the script! Ti West said, “That was just a random experimental idea that I was like, ‘Let’s try this, see what happens.’ Then she did that, and after watching it for three minutes, I said, “Cut. That’s great. We’re going to put that in the movie, and let’s go back to work now.’
@@heated8122 that’s so rad!!
That scene as the credits role was iconic. I was so disturbed but yet so intrigued
Yes!! Only other end credit shot that disturbs me more is sleepaway camp😭
barbarian and pearl coming out so close together is craaazyyy literally two of the best movies i have seen in a while
Mia Goth is a wonderful actress, so glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. Loved X, but have to say I loved Pearl more! Very excited for Maxxxine
I love final girls (and final boys), but it's great we're getting more horror villains who are female! I really like your more natural look here.
When you said that you didn’t even realize that the horror wasn’t really in pearl until your partner pointed it out I felt that so hard. I didn’t even realize because I was in love so much until my friend I went with pointed it out
Just like Toni Collette in Hereditary, Mia Goth deserved to be nominated for an Oscar. She was so good in both of these movies!😍
jennifer's body, ginger snaps and x are my holy trinity of female joker-ish movies i can't wait to see this one and maxxxine!!!!!!!
It ain’t really horror, but I’d add Gone Girl to this category as well!
@@michelletaggart157 yess totally!!
i would add Raw and May (2002). May is one of my favorite underrated female led horror movies ever
My boyfriend and I went to see this last night, and when Pearl had her monologue we looked at one another like, "holy.... shit....." It's a 10/10 for both of us. So much fun to watch.
Pearl topped X and Barbarian for me and this is coming from someone who loves your typical slasher films. I just love character driven films especially when taking placed in the early 1900s. Pearl is Mia Goth’s film and she deserves all the praises she’s getting. Pearl is in my top 5 favorite horror films of the year. I give it a 4.8/5
Barbarian better
@@sifisflisk7408 agree to disagree
Glad to see Ti West finally getting a bit more recognition. He was one of the directors who kicked off the horror revival in the early 2010's with The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers but for some reason people kind of forgot about him. He's a first rate director. He also films right here in Connecticut. I got to see the Yankee Peddler Inn up close.
I didn’t know any of these were filmed in CT! That’s super cool, really weird to think of my state in any movie at all.
The monologue at the end was epic. It was also kind of hilarious considering the context. The scene that followed was probably the scariest part of the movie.
I think villain origin stories don't work if they only kill off unlikable characters.
the ending credits… so iconic
This is the review I was waiting for!! Pearl was sososo good. I love how Ti West can transport his viewers to different time periods. He did that so well in House of the Devil and Pearl.
I truly wonder what exactly the plot of Maxxxine will be cause in a article it said it’ll be about how homemade movies have affected people or something along those lines. Like will it still have slasher elements like X and Pearl cause the antagonist Pearl is dead so unless Maxine becomes the killer I have no idea Wtf is gonna happen💀
@@Ghostface1998 maybe Maxine got a taste for blood lol
@@xs0ftx3 like the way Pearl said at the end of X “You’re gonna end up just like me” and “It’ll all be taken from you”. So if Maxine truly ends up the way Pearl did then yup it’ll be a tale of two souls growing up in different eras but ending up the same.
I haven’t seen Mia Goth in anything but A Cure for Wellness (HIGHLY underrated btw) and Nymphomaniac. She legit seems kinda crazy to me so she seemingly can do these roles well 🤪
I absolutely loved this movie now I don’t think it was as good as X for me personally cause it had more horror and gore but that’s really the only nitpick for Pearl. Mia Goff truly turned it out like I thought she was good in X but she was amazing in Pearl that 5 min monologue was fantastic it felt like that Toni C scene from that Hereditary dinner scene rant . The fact we got two amazing horror prequels with orphan first kill and Pearl. I’m hoping TI west can wrap up this trilogy nicely with Maxxxine. This felt like if wizard of oz went into the horror genre cause it was a period piece fs.
Yeah I got wizard of oz vibes mixed with psycho if psycho had a lead up to how Norman got messed up
That monologue was SOOOO long but I was in love with every second of it. The acting and the context cannot be replicated!
Mia goth is an absolutely enchanting actress and I can’t wait to see more from her.
It seems like A24 is growing on you this year! You’ve loved like every single one that came out (except men) and that’s definitely a higher rate than in the past. But between X, EEAAO, and Pearl, A24 is dominating this year
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies was also a solid good time.
@@Whackadoo1 exactly there are so many good A24 movies this year I forgot some
Cannot wait to see Pearl, it’s easily my most anticipated film of the year. Gutted the international rollout is so slow, not even dated yet!
not sure where you are from, im from eastern europe and live in london currently. As far as i know x didnt even get a theatrical release in either of those i fear pearl is gonna be the same which is so stupid in my opnion. I think its only limiting potential income for the studios to leave us out because someone is gonna upload it online eventually.
@@universalg1rl From the U.K. too, where luckily X got a pretty wide theatrical release so 🤞🏻 for Pearl
@@lewispowell6015 when did X come out in the uk theaters ?
@@universalg1rl same day as the US, March 18th
@@universalg1rl I live in the UK and I swear I never knew anything about X until months after it realeased, I don't even think it came out here in the UK. I really hope Pearl is released here soon.
She nailed Mia Goth's look perfectly
We understand why Pearl detests blondes! If you don’t remember why(think back to her audition in the movie and what the male judge said, then think of the scene in X between her and Brittany Snow at the lake plus her sister-in-law).
yes this!!
Also why she liked Maxine, a cute, mousy brunette. She saw herself in her!
@@Whackadoo1 someone pointed out how, when Howard first sees the crew, he keeps staring at Maxine. Wayne gets kind of defensive and alludes to the fact that he hasn’t seen anything beautiful like Maxine in years. But is he actually staring at her because she looks just like Pearl? (Yes, I know that it’s meta that Pearl and Maxine are both intentionally played by Mia Goth.) I’m just curious how deep that similarity goes. Do others see it or is it literally just a theatrical metaphor how they’re different characters but the same person?
i really appreciated how bright and colorful this movie was. shows that you don't always need to go darker, and grayer to make a great horror movie.
omg yes it’s here!! watched this on friday and I was waiting for your review!! absolutely loved it and mia goth deserves award recognition for her performance. the six minute monologue and the end credits were breathtaking and tragic.
omg i love the eyebrow look !!
seeing your videos on my recommended page at the end of the day is like a reward hehe
Pearl was so AMAZING!!! I loved every single second of it
You're glowing ! ✨️
Sarah, thank you so much for your review of Pearl, great job.
Yessssssssssss we are on the same page again! I *loved* Pearl! Mia Goth was amazing, and the supporting cast was also superb in how they played off her. I’m so hyped for Maxxxine. I think the through line of p*rnos through time is so interesting too. Ti West is showing his range with these movies with such exquisite attention to detail across different eras of filmmaking.
I’m so glad this just came out! I just got out of the movie theatre and this is such a gift!
the monologue and the scene RIGHT AFTER the monologue omg 10/10
I really like when your reviews have spoilers because I usually view all information about a movie as a spoiler aside from the title and poster haha. So I like getting the full download after I watch it. Bringing back the spoiler section would be fun!
Perfect timing to post this!! I just got back from the cinema 💞
i’m really a fan of the style you’ve cultivated with these videos! I like the natural conversational feel it has! I don’t like when it feels so scripted to the point of it sounding like a professionally written review on imdb or something
I'm seeing this later today with my friend, I'm so excited!
I’ve been waiting for this review! I watched it on Friday and I was OBSESSED. Mia Goth’s performance was incredible and her monologue? Spectacular… I even related to it which I typically don’t do with villains. I think Ti West and Mia Goth are my new horror faves.
Love your natural eyebrows! It's a soft look ☺️
(first of all loved pearl. it was one of the best movies i've ever seen) but ALSO the light eyebrows is so beautiful on you. it is such a stunning look, as a natural brunette with extremely dark, thick eyebrows i am so jealous.
I love the natural eyebrows!!
i went to the TIFF premier for Pearl and it was so great. you can tell mia had a lot to do with building the character and a gave a ton of input on the film, which i added so much to the movie. the maxxxine teaser at the end was a huge surprise for the audience and from what tiwest hinted at it sounds so good!
My grandma was named Pearl so I have to watch this. Seriously I need to catch up on my horror! I've missed so many good ones this year!
I am so excited for Pearl!!! I'm thinking about seeing it today
Doctor: You only have 16:15 minutes to live.
Me: Say no more.
I've been waiting on this review eagerly
Well said review. Honestly I completely agree! I really hope Mia Goth gets recognized for this performance, because it deserves awards! That very end smile….just wow!!! Chills!!!
Loved the review AND omg u look amazing with light eyebrows are u kidding me😭😭🫶🏻
I LOVEDDD Pearl i really wish this review had spoilers bc I wanted to hear your opinion on a few things
Your natural hair color is so beautiful✨
It makes me hyped for this and Barbarian! 🎉 btw, we will have to hear your thoughts about Terrifer 2 when it comes out!
I also can’t believe I saw barbarian and pearl in the same week! I loved both of them!!
Omg the beginning I also have dark hair and light ass brows 😭😭 but I absolutely lovedddd Pearl! It was so good I can’t wait to rewatch it and for the third one
I feel like the brown hair with the light eyebrows and the red tips is a full look and truly iconic af!
I’m going to Pearl on Tuesday. I think I might go see Barbarian again (for a third time) after Pearl. I should rewatch X before as well. Gosh it’s a good time to be a horror fan!
I really enjoyed Pearl! The way it was filmed felt like a twisted Wizard of Oz. Interested to see what they’ll do with Maxxxine
I love the eyebrow representation too haha. I have light eyebrows too and I hate having to fill them in, but social pressures make me feel like I have to lol.
Love your review!
I absolutely feel your pain. I genuinely had people ask if I shave off half my eyebrows. I’m like nope, just freakishly blonde at the middle to the end. 🤦♀️🤦♀️
X was your birthday gift, PEARL is my birthday gift
Your shirt!!! It’s poppin!
You’re naturally bomb!! Haha I love ur neon CSI?? Looking top very cool fit 😊
It’s insane how Pearl has skyrocketed to my number one spot in regards to favorite movies. Hereditary has officially been dethroned for me. Maxine and Pearl are two of the most captivating and unique horror characters I’ve seen in so long, they’ve become my favorite final girl and villain respectively.
Needless to say, I loved Pearl more than X, even though I still really really loved X. Barbarian I’m still unsure on my feelings for it, I need to rewatch it. Gonna rewatch Pearl first though since my theater is bound to lose it first.
Also needless to say, I can’t fucking wait for MaXXXine
I'm glad to know it can be a stand alone watch since I wasn't really interested in watching X due to sxl aspect of it. I loved Barbarian too! Literally started watching your review and when you said to see it first I paused and went to the theater 😆
I liked X, but I was NOT expecting to be obsessed with this movie
your outfit! is pure fire. Mia Goth is next level amazing in this though. One of the best performances I've ever seen. Pearl is absolutely my favorite of the year, so good it elevates X. And the manager gave me the poster before I left which I have on my wall. Can't wait for Maxxxine. But mostly can't wait to rewatch this one.
I can’t wait to watch this!! Doesn’t make sense that they didn’t bring pearl out in the UK but they had X in the cinemas
Mia Goth is pretty to me 😍 her face is pretty to me in this!
u look great and i love ur videos, i am a massive fan of X and am soooo excited for pearl and the third one also! thanks for ur content even when ur pregnant ur my favorite content creator wishing u the best and lets hope taylor wins bb24!!
i been waiting for this review
I want to believe the trailer was marketed in the style of the film and how trailers would have been received with audiences of the time. there was this one trailer seen that made the whole experience of watching the film worth every second. After seeing that trailer scene in the film I felt totally engrossed; It literally felt good. It genuinely made me feel like I was in a real theater again
Hands down my favorite movie of the year! Pearl as a character is just amazing and she is my joker. Mia goth is now becoming one of my favorites actors every. Im really curious as to what the horror elements will be in maXXXine tho
When i was at the theater for Barbarian, the trailer for Pearl played saying “Coming Soon…” but it was… literally showing in the room next to us? Hahaha
I would love to hear more of your opinions on Baby Jane!
Finally got to see this on Friday and I loved it!!! Sucks we had to wait so long for a release here but it was definitely worth the wait. I do feel it was a little too light on the horror but honestly the story was so great and Mia Goth had me captivated so I didn't really mind at all!
Definitely going again when it officially drops!
Truly, pearl was SO amazing to me!!!
I wouldn’t change a thing. I hope to one day hear what scene you would’ve changed. I’m so curious lol.
I think you look beautiful with your natural eyebrows! As a fellow fair-faced blonde, I feel like I look so weird darkening in my eyebrows…Its just not me looking back at myself when I try to color up my brows 🤷♀️. So perhaps i’m biased BUT I think you look lovely keeping it light!
Your light eyebrows actually look very nice on you!!
honestly you look so good in the blond brows, love the makeup. I Just found out Mia Goth is half brazillian (im from Brazil, so this peaked my interest), curious about this movie.
greetings from czech republic 👋🏼,
I am fond of your videos about horrors, keep going ❤
You’re so beautiful Sarah & absolutely killing this lewk w ur fair brows!!! 👻😘
Just watched X last night and I cannot wait to see pearl!
i’ve loved mia goth ever since i saw her in Suspiria. she’s incredible.
Mia Goth was unbelievably fantastic in this movie like Oscar worthy. Ive fell in love with as an actress since Suspirira and she literally never bad in anything she in but this is her best work by far
Only seen this film once but I remember being shocked. Can’t wait to rewatch on Blu-ray next month.
So I actually watched Pearl first this weekend, and X today. It was a weird situation because I saw Pearl off of a recommendation which I always go in blind for. I absolutely gushed over Pearl, it was absolutely fantastic. I honestly feel like the order I had made the whole experience amazing. The repression of Pearl taking everything so slowly as you follow her getting closer and closer to her crescendo, with that ending being absolutely beautiful. That repression pays off with the absolute indulgence of X.
Still waiting for UK release dates for Pearl and Barbarian 😭 but i literally cannot wait to watch these in the cinema omg
I feel ya. I have brown hair and black eyebrows and lashes. Not matching either, lol. Thanks for the review!
I loooooved Pearl. the way it was filmed as if it actually was made during the time it was set in with the sound design and everything was soooo good. Mia Goth did an amazing job, the aesthetics were perfect. Great movie
Pearl is already for digital pre-orders!!!
LOVED PEARL!!! Oscar for Mia Goth! At least in our dreams. SO GLAD YOU SAW IT AND LOVED IT!!!
I’m so shocked you’re not a natural redhead! Your skin tone is perfect for it
The planets are in retrograde, and great horror films are coming out. What a time to be alive.
Mia deserves all this hype! I love her since i first saw her in like 2012 🥰 i even bleached my eyebrows when i saw her cause she is so beautiful! This is a look for you Sarah 😍 embrace the no-eyebrow
i agree 100%. as soon as i got out the theater i thought to myself, peeler is so different from X but in a FANTASTIC way. i immediately said they compliment each other so so well. great companion movie to X. i cannot wait to own them and cannot wait what Ti West & Mia Goth have inshore for Maxxxine
Fellow brown hair but blonde eyelashes, eyebrows, and mustache haver here! I fill mine in with a powder usually but maybe I’ll take a page from you and Mia and start going natch again like I did when I was younger!
I thought you looked different in the thumbnail. X was pretty good, looking forward to Pearl. House of the Devil is an all time fav horror of mine, glad Ty West is blowing up.
Honestly dying to see both Barbarian AND Pearl. The wife and I can't decide which we wanna see tomorrow. But also stoked for Maxxxine whenever that comes out too. Still need to find a streaming service that has Bodies Bodies Bodies.
Bodies will be available to stream on October 5 2022 :)
@@hatchok6324 SWEET thank you!
I am going to see Barbarian tomorrow!!!🙌
