I don't like reality. Where I live, I mean.

Pearl — 4/5

Wow, Mia Goth, I didn't know you had it in you. What a performance. And what a unique horror movie! She comes across as so genuinely sweet, so sympathetic, a bird who wants to fly, and with a look, a question, the whole movie—and someone's soon-to-be-departed world—turns. In a genre that feels like it rarely hits on anything new, here it is: understanding the monster, and how easily they hide. And within that—the playful way it tells its story. That smile at the end, wow. Avowed Ti West disliker, I—am glad he found someone to play with.
