BeauIsAfraid Review by TheJonathanSim: Joaquin Phoenix Shines in Ari Aster Movie
, his two previous films, you would know how strong Aster’s directorial style is. Although those are unique horror movies, this is Aster, no holds barred. He carries many of his previous work’s themes, such as complicated familial relationships surrounding mothers and the pain of grief. We’re watching Beau’s mind in this film; it feels unconventional, quirky, and out of this world. The film blurs the line between reality and fantasy, building some fascinating intrigue in what you’re watching.
This movie can sometimes be horrifying, with some scenes typical of Aster’s dark style. It can feel like a dream, and other times, a nightmare, matching the scattered structure and elevated moments. While you don’t typically notice the strangeness of a dream until you wake up,is a dream you’re entirely conscious of.
