Beau Is Afraid

"A punishing arthouse endurance test."

"Three hours doesn’t feel at all reasonable for such an uneven collection of sketches."

"(A) funny, nightmarish extravaganza."

"Scary, boring and sad in approximate proportions of 1 to 4 to 2."

"Irksome (or worse) as some of the film may be, it has a gravitational pull."

"More tedious than hilarious."

"Either the most terrifying comedy or the funniest horror film of 2023."

"Worth recommending for its ambition alone... That it’s also a remarkably well-crafted horror-comedy is a cherry on top."

"While Beau himself may not prove to be all that memorable, his fear is foisted upon us in a way that makes it impossible to forget."

"Pitch-dark..."

"It’s a stress-watch to rival... Uncut Gems."
