Beau is afraid (2023 HBO MAX)

WTF was that???
We watched beyond what we probably wanted to about 30 minutes before we turned it off, thinking okay at some point maybe it isn't so f*cked up?
This thing is horrible. I get that all of the whacky, weird things you will see on the screen are representative of the characters mental illness. I get it - but does it have to be so pervasive? At what point is there a real scene?

I can't possibly recommend it, and struggle to see how anyone thought it was good.

You made is 15 minutes longer than I did.....Damn it was bad.

I'm just sayin... was the director on acid when he made this thing?
Again, I get that all this madness was to represent the madness in his mind - okay - but you don't have to have something completely crazy in every single scene! It just made the movie a complete mess.

With Joaquin Phoenix in it I thought it might be OK.....Looks like he's on a down hill spiral since The Joker.

I agree. He was awesome in "Her" and I Walk the Line
