Ari Aster is like a friend you seldom see, but when he shows up, he reminds you why you chose him as your person.
Beau is Afraid is a collection of postcards you never wanted to receiveāfrom journeys that are good, bad, and honestly don't care about.
It's a cathartic release, a relapse, and a nervous laugh. The film is unapologetic, satirical, and truly toxiqueāpractically useless!
Though Beau is Afraid, it's committed to its purpose: to make you see and say the things you've always wanted to express.
Ari Aster had no filters and then decided to consume the last bit of poise you had left.
It's a dump of weirdly familiar scenarios.
With Ari Aster, it's always an experience.
Well played, AA.

brilliant. beautiful and funny and heartwrenching and silly and all around fantastic. the more i think about this movie the more i love it. tells an unconventional tale of self-confidence, self-sabotage, regret and jealousy, etc etc the ending was a bit silly but i can look past it lol. what a fantastic cast and fantastic production. they frame things throughout as if it were to look like a stage production only for that to be the eventual main plot point. one of my favorite scenes (if not films) of the year

When Marianne rubbed a cloth to destroy the first portrait of HĆ©loĆÆse, I knew this film was going to be a once in a lifetime experience.
I love how expressive both actors areātheir gazes, their nuances, and the way they deliver each line... If I may borrow Jane Austenās words, this film has truly pierced my soul. All the eroticism is steeped in consent.
I also love the setting: the eerie mansion by the beach, with a cliff, was the perfect venue for a love story I could only imagine and dream of. I felt everything through this movie and loved how both actors flirted and argued until they could no longer speak or touch each other anymore.
Sighhhh... I could talk about this film all day. Another sighhhh... Iām truly touched and have recommended it to my closest friends as a must-watch.
After my first watch, I can say this movie has left a lasting mark on me and took a significant portion of my heart. ARGHā I'm in love with this movie!

A new player in the coffee scene, but a really good one.
It offers creatively flavored fixes and two bean options: BOSS and LYDIA. Plus, it's affordable. Not to mention its sleek brand colors and catchy taglines.
Everything is on point.
This has definitely become one of my favorites. I hope they expand soon.
