Pearl - Reviews

Mia Goth is tremendous in this stylish bloodbath.

...Goth’s presence makes any movie a must-see.

...this is an American gothic shocker with a lot to say — and an awards-worthy lead performance from Mia Goth.

Ti West’s shot-in-secret prequel to this year’s X, Pearl, is a whip-smart origin story, with more Goth and more gore

Mia Goth and Ti West scare up a storm in extraordinary pandemic horror.

...one of the most effectively unsettling movies of the year.

...the rare origin story where you see the breakdown happening in real time.

Oh, Ti West. That man must have a huge set of balls, because Pearl is absolutely like, what the fuck?! I mean that in the best way possible.

...a very good movie, hinging on a powerful and sympathetic performance by Goth.

If only more horror movies dared to dream as big with such emotionally charged results.
