      @@vanessab.c.7806 I wouldn't say it was psychopathic, its disturbing really because of the opposite, the amount of emotion in her face is what's disturbing, ....psychopaths are the opposite. the whole point of her character is that she's someone who has suffered trauma who feels all emotions so intensely that it breaks her. psychopaths are unemotional, cold and calculated, Pearl is the opposite, impulsive, emotional and broken.

      Saw the movie today. Mia Goth deserves a fking Oscar. This kind of acting is quite rare nowadays in Shittywood. The German mom was damn sad and sinister in the same time, while her dad did top acting only with eyes. This is a rare movie in terms of screenwriting.

    I’ve been a fan of Chris’s for a long time, nearly ten years, and I’m so excited for his movie. With that said, I kinda miss Chris doing negative reviews. It takes away the surprise of his reviews, and when he doesn’t review a movie, I don’t know if that’s because he hated it, or because he didn’t see it.

    I just watched X and Pearl back to back and it was such a pleasure to watch both films. I agree that Mia Goth's monologue was mesmerizing to watch - a complete outpour of honesty and vulnerability to the raw force that motivated her throughout the film. I saw some questions about whether Pearl should be watched before X, and I would argue that watching it in the order that they were released makes both films better by the end. Getting to see the set, the characters, and the props in X, covered in darkness, makes it all the more appealing when you see the same set, characters, and props in Pearl. Loved these films and I can't wait for MaXXXine!

I also had no idea what x was about going into it so I thought maybe she had gained immortality or something lol. But yes!! The monologue was amazing. I had to pause a few times during it because the buildup was just so intense, and the fact that they only show Mitsi's reaction after the entire thing is complete made it even more suspenseful.

    I have not seen Pearl yet, but I am happy to hear most of the scary things happens in daylight, as opposed to what we are used to - only in the dark of the night.
    One of the things I really appreciated about X is that it took something usually safe and not scary (older, weak people) and turned them into messed up violent villains. Even though it wasn't the first movie to do that, it was still very refreshing.

    • @Chronicroc
      @Chronicroc Před rokem +4

      I think with Pearl they do the same thing. Less regarding the people and more the set up of the movie itself, though. The way that it's shot, the music, the saturation all makes it feel like an older film that wouldn't be able to commit to anything scary than referenced violence. It was so good. I think it's interesting that they seem to be specifically flipping things that are "old" on their head. I wonder if they're going to continue to do so in Maxxxine.

      Never?
      X was fun, but compared with The Witch, it looks like it was made by a much less talented director, writer, actors, etc.
      West is good, but he’s not on Aster or Eggers level. Mia Goth just hasn’t ever done anything that makes me think she’s a great actress. Her old lady performance had nothing to it, that took real skill.
      I’m hoping that Pearl, will have all of the hype being given to it. Saying she smiles like no one else, tells me Chris has a bias.
      Regardless of taste, The VVITCH and Hereditary, are just far beyond X in direction, cinematography, acting, and just about any other technical aspect. I understand someone not enjoying those movies as much, because of subject matter or story, but the filmmaking level is hard to debate.

    A great film. Everyone keeps referencing The Wizard of Oz for simple colour gradients, but what about Psycho? To me, it seems, like Ti West made Psycho in colour. Which is fitting for how colourful Pearl's character is. It's almost like Psycho 1, 2, and 3 wrapped into one story about a true psycho killer. Loved the movie

    This film was an experience! And it was an amazing time at the movie theater - the score and visuals pop on the big screen! Mia Goth deserves awards for this performance, her monologue is the best monologue of the year - on the level of Dafoe's in The Lighthouse and Toni Collette's in Hereditary. If she doesn't get awards, then Mia Goth should get more and more acting jobs because, as far as I'm concerned, she's a star

It even has an ending very reminiscent of the film "What's The Matter With Helen". Mia Goth's performance was fantastic, and I really hope she'll be remembered by Oscar nomination time. I don't know if the film is for modern audiences, since it has a real story and few jumpscares, but it's a solid quality horror film, that at times also reminded me of "Carrie". Go see this film, it's good!

  • @cheswajda

    Saw it last night. It's a character study disguised as a slasher. The "horror" is presented so matter-of-factly that it blunts any feeling of terror, it's just what you are expecting the character to do. Slow burn to be sure, and yes Mia Goth kills it.

    • @tyrantula767
      @tyrantula767 Před rokem +3

      When I finished seeing X, I wasn’t blown away. I left seeing it as more of a comedic horror because most of the characters deaths were actually funny, and there were bits of comedic aspects outside of the characters deaths. I wasn’t upset because I didn’t go into X with high expectations and I enjoyed the film for what it was worth. Because of that, I went into Pearl with the expectations that it would also be just enjoyable with comedic character deaths, but it was quite the opposite. It was far darker, with a horrific tone, far more character depth, and the killing scenes were eerie. Pearl is probably the best horror movie I’ve seen in my opinion, probably because the murderer is the Protagonist and it’s centered around getting to know the murderer rather than just killing a group of victims.
