The difference with Beau is that it wasn't made with complete disregard of the audience. The audience is front and center. The audience is the point. The audience is the villain. And that level of narcissistic crybaby tantrum throwing just isn't at all interesting to me.
There is a plot there (I posted some videos about it), though it isn't necessary to get, but if you are in need of that, it is there.tree_ wrote:What I meant is I need some kind of story thru-line to grab on to, otherwise it just feels like floating around aimlessly... I get he has anxiety and trauma, and the visuals are great and real artsy and all, but can we make some kind of a story out of it at least?Jorge wrote:I don't know quite what you mean but I find it a very ambitious movie that's clearly very personal and emotional, pulled off very skillfully from an artistic standpoint, so I like it a lot.

I liked this movie. After the first hour I thought I was going to love it, but it definitely dragged a bit. Joaquin Phoenix is an absolute treasure.tommy wrote:Watching Beau is Afraid. I'm about an hour in and I'm enjoying it a lot so far.
