747855, Beau is Afraid (Ari Aster, 2023)

Saw this yesterday on the 8 story IMAX and I still don't know what to think about it.

A 3 hour absurdist, anxiety ridden nightmare comedy.

There's whole sections of this that I really enjoyed and others that I don't.

Then there's the third act which I loved until a certain point and then I really was asking myself what is the point of all of this.

Funniest thing was watching the almost full theater slowly trickle out throughout the film. Those who made it to the end, sat in stunned and confused silence.

This is supposedly A24's most expensive movie at $34 million. I very much doubt that they're making that back.

Here's the trailer: https://youtu.be/PuiWDn976Ek
