Beau tiene miedo - Reviews

...it’s the kind of movie worth recommending for its ambition alone, merely to witness the audacious result of anxious self-loathing writ large across the silver screen, without an ounce of restraint.

It’s as deeply personal and unsettling a vision as we’ve seen from an American filmmaker in some time—the capstone of an exhausting, wildly inventive cinematic exorcism of personal demons.

...a consistently jaw-dropping joyride through one man’s terrible, very bad, no good week.

At the center is a fascinating performance from Joaquin Phoenix, who actualizes what it looks like for a boy to suddenly stop growing up and merely age into a graying body.

...the most bonkers movie of the year.

...an extraordinary rendering of severe clinical anxiety, using the language of horror cinema to visualise the paranoid nightmare that something as simple as stepping foot outside can turn into.

Parts of it are hilarious.

...one long, horrific joke.

Ari Aster’s delirious third feature clarifies his artistic obsessions even as it expands them into surreal new shapes.

Kitchig, rolig, chockerande och bisarr - mycket har klämts in i Ari (“Midsommar”) Asters tretimmarsodyseé.
