Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Tapr (52) on 21 Apr 2023

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Graeme Guttmann (36) for Screen Rant (892) on 20 Apr 2023

Beau is Afraid will make one feel alongside its title character in a way few films do, and it's a torturous and glorious ride…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 20 Apr 2023

Phoenix acts his ass off, often entertainingly, and from the hoariest of ancient dark-comic tactics, Aster pulls off the occasional little…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 20 Apr 2023

I respect a film for being as daring, original and personal as this one is, but by the third act it starts to feel like an extended therapy…

There is an overarching story and some obvious themes, including the extreme fear suggested in the film’s title…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Alison Willmore (681) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 20 Apr 2023

It packs the screen with witty details, features some brilliantly directed sequences, sets up downright baroque punchlines, and is anchored…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 20 Apr 2023

A structure might have inhibited Aster’s impulse for meaningless excess…

Beau Is Afraid is bold, enthralling, and unlike anything you've ever seen before…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Apr 2023

Aster, who also directed the excellent “Hereditary” and the somewhat less excellent “Midsommar,” has the audience where he wants it…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Ann Hornaday (1,919) for Washington Post (9,851) on 19 Apr 2023

The sad truth is that, for all his ambition, cinematic prowess and hyper-confessional candor, Aster doesn’t stick the landing…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 19 Apr 2023

The episodic nature of Beau's misadventures serves as both distraction and bloat, a metaphorical cavalcade that lacks the acerbic agility of…

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 19 Apr 2023

By Mark Feeney (434) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 19 Apr 2023

This is a movie with weapons-grade mommy issues…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Thenakedmole (6) on 18 Apr 2023

Ari Aster's Freddy Got Fingered. Extremely polarizing, weird, funny, most people will hate it, but a select few will worship it…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Richard Brody (868) for The New Yorker (1,837) on 18 Apr 2023

To set up the movie’s cagey diminution of the protagonist, Aster diminishes the protagonist’s world, too—he suppresses Beau’s identity…

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Barry Hertz (792) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 17 Apr 2023

Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023)

By Tommonday (33) on 15 Apr 2023
