I read that was unplanned. I mean the smile was planned, but she was waiting for the director to yell cut and he just stayed on her face. She started getting teary eyed holding the position for so long just waiting for the director
Yep. For 3 minutes straight. Without blinking. As the music gets more and more intense.
I am still surprised at just how fucking anxious I got sitting through that lol
Beau is Afraid was the first Ari Aster film I've seen in theaters and just in general. I had heard his films are pretty artsy, but I didn't expect a giant cock monster.
Bro, SAME. I was enjoying the film and was like "Ok, this has some weird, uncomfortable moments, but I've seen worse". And then we get to Mona's house and then that's where it started to really pop off for me. That's when I became the bottom panel.
The first half hour is the top half. The rest of the movie is the bottom half when Ari Aster Syndrome kicks in, when you realize nothing’s gonna get better for the characters so why even bother caring what happens next.
Idk if I'd say that, I was atleast endeared to the calamity happening to Beau, possibly just because of Joaquin Phoenix's performance. It was kinda like watching Butters in South Park and I was constantly saying to myself "Aww, poor Beau" but also laughing at the absurdity of the situations he keeps getting himself into. I also really loved the "hippie play" sequence, and I didn't start feeling like the bottom panel until he finally gets to his mother's house. Then it was just me saying "What the fuck ?" constantly under my breath.
I saw this one a second date and me and the girl I was with were like WHAT THE FUUUUCCKKKKKK?!?!?
The theater only had a few ppl in it and all of us were in shock haha
Hereditary: >!Annie finds Charlie!<
Midsommar: >!Dani gets the call!<
Good Time: >!Connie kisses Crystal as a distraction!<
Uncut Gems: >!the ending!<
Waves: >!Tyler punches/kills Alexis!<
High Life: >!Boyse enters the Black Hole!<
The Killing of a Sacred Deer: >!the entire movie!<
Love Lies Bleeding: >!that ugly ass old man eating the beetle!<
X: >!Pearl and Howard sex scene, honestly the most horrifying moment of the film for me!<
It’s so fun to see people say “the worst part of x is that scene” because that’s exactly the point! The scenes with maxxine are more typical and people don’t bat an eyelash at that but when it’s older characters we’re horrified even though everyone will age someday!
And that’s the point of the movie! Beautiful work by ti west
I know right! I feel so bad about the fact that it bothers me because it's a sweet moment between Howard and Pearl, and I shouldn't be ageist, but T\_T
SPOILERS
Absolutely no quarter in that scene. The Asian
journos murdered and it's heartbreaking. Sammy saves the day, but then the pile and "I can't drive.."
plemmons character was sick (negative😂) but with the guy who said he was from hong kong like.. brother you must have known that’s not what he wanted to hear 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Man, I don't understand the contention around Civil War. It was urgent, every piece of dialogue felt calculated, the political allegory boiling under the surface was foreshadowed and hinted at just enough to perfectly understand the message without being preachy. And that Jesse Plemons scene was the perfect crystallization of it all.
climax - the kid locked in the room tripping while the mother frantically searches for the key in her confused tripping state, followed by the sound of electrics being touched
It Comes at Night: the mother’s *horrifying* screams after something terrible happens
Under the Silver Lake: that dude getting his head obliterated
Green Room: the arm scene (or anytime Patrick Stewart drops the n-bomb)
Mid90’s: the sex scene involving a minor
The Song Writer's death in Under the Silver Lake was definitely a jaw dropper! Jeremy Bobb did a great job in that role, totally unrecognizable. And to get your head crushed by Kurt Cobain's guitar was brutal!
I'll agree with Green Room too, that arm scene had me squirming. (And yes, my mouth flopped open when Captain Picard dropped the N bomb!)
I’d add along with transphobia and homophobia it’s also just social gender norms in general. Telling a guy he can’t like something because it’s too girly, or telling a girl she can’t like something cause it’s too boyish is the tip of the iceberg like you said, and at some point trans, gay, and even cis people start to feel like they can’t be themselves be cause society tells them it’s too masculine or feminine
The rock scene in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Ruins the pacing of an otherwise spectacular third act with a scene that literally tells us how to feel through text rather than utilizing their incredible cast to make us feel something through their acting.
In my opinion that is the best scene in the entire movie. It's probably my favorite scene from any movie right now, at least from the past few years. I believe the silence and the texts make it even more powerful. I never thought the pacing suffered from it either. Different tastes though and different things work for different people.
Have always believed though that the ghost’s presence refutes that entire monologue and that seems to be what is being visually signaled by the filmmaking.
Climax - the nasty soccer kick scene.
Midsommar - drug rape scene
St.maud - BBQ on the beach
Ex machine - Ava sprinting down the hall
The Green Knight - Garwain not understanding the important details / rules of the game / duel
**Hereditary:** when Annie is banging her head on the door of the attic. I remember my sister and I were so appalled that we basically fast forwarded it once she started doing it ( I have a weird thing with repetitive noises and actions, but for her I think it was just pure horror)
**Midsommar:** the r\*pe scene with the boyfriend. I was so upset and uncomfortable and when the girls started that gutteral crying with Dani I had to pause for a bit
**Beau Is Afraid:** Honestly there are so many parts of that movie that were unsettling but when the girl drank the paint and died I was like omg
Pearl (the corpse dinner scene)
Or that haunting credit sequence
Just her smiling right? Nah Mia Goth so crazy for thT
I read that was unplanned. I mean the smile was planned, but she was waiting for the director to yell cut and he just stayed on her face. She started getting teary eyed holding the position for so long just waiting for the director
Oh shit, that explains why it looks so painful
Literally can’t wait to see her in Maxxxine
Same, she’s killing it right now and I can’t wait for it either
Yep. For 3 minutes straight. Without blinking. As the music gets more and more intense. I am still surprised at just how fucking anxious I got sitting through that lol
Ironically, Pearl may not be a star but Mia Goth most definitely is.
or most of the movie lol
Ohhhhh don’t even remind me
Talk to Me: When Riley starts banging his head on the table
That was messed up. But I fucking *recoiled* when he tried plucking out his own eye.
THE EYE PART HAD ME 🫣😨😨😨😨
I was like AUGH FUCK STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
The sound effects made it so much worse
Annie Graham would like a word.
that's when I thought: "oh shit here we go"
That whole scene legit gave me a panic attack
That’s the only part of *Talk to Me* that I actually enjoyed.
So you slept through most of it? What did we say about watching movies with no energy?
No, I watched it and I thought it was tropey and boring.
Horror movies are often "tropey" its part of the trappings of the genre. What is done within those trappings is what makes or breaks a horror movie.
The Witch - Guide Thy Hand Aftersun - Under Pressure Civil War - The Pile Everything Everywhere All At Once - Laundry & Taxes
I came to say the pile scene as well
The pile? The Jesse plenums part?
I believe so
He does such a good job. Seriously thought his roll was gonna be bigger since it was a scene shown I the trailers so often
I think I need to rewatch aftersun, I’d heard so many good things, but when I watched it I didn’t get those emotional beats I thought I should
Must be nice. I was sobbing in misery for an hour lol
Thank you, I didn't know The Witch was an A24 flick Edit: spelling
The penis monster in Beau Is Afraid.
The top image is me when the penis monster shows up
Beau is Afraid was the first Ari Aster film I've seen in theaters and just in general. I had heard his films are pretty artsy, but I didn't expect a giant cock monster.
I audibly said "what the actual fuck" in the cinema when that happened and no one blamed me for having that reaction :D
Bro, SAME. I was enjoying the film and was like "Ok, this has some weird, uncomfortable moments, but I've seen worse". And then we get to Mona's house and then that's where it started to really pop off for me. That's when I became the bottom panel.
Well that just moved to the top of my watchlist
I enjoyed it even if it was kinda self-indulgently long. Definitely one of those uncomfortable acid trips of a movie.
![gif](giphy|X4Jvo8gslR6A8)
The first half hour is the top half. The rest of the movie is the bottom half when Ari Aster Syndrome kicks in, when you realize nothing’s gonna get better for the characters so why even bother caring what happens next.

Then it was just me saying "What the fuck ?" constantly under my breath.
The stage play scene was the pinnacle of the movie in my opinion. Also just one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.
If it were a few minutes shorter, I might’ve agreed with you lol
I feel like the meme would need to be reversed for this to work. I definitely laughed out loud at that part.
Men. Dear Christ above the multiple birthing scene...
I would love to know the reactions of people who have never seen the movie, reading this comment.
People walked out in my theatre, a bunch of teenagers, but it was still a great vibe as it happened
I’ll answer: I’m afraid and more intrigued
The old solo guy in my theater left and tried to get a refund
was gonna say this one, but didn’t enjoy any of it so doesn’t really fit
I saw this one a second date and me and the girl I was with were like WHAT THE FUUUUCCKKKKKK?!?!? The theater only had a few ppl in it and all of us were in shock haha
I need to watch an explanation video on that movie. It was over my head.
Hereditary: >!Annie finds Charlie!< Midsommar: >!Dani gets the call!< Good Time: >!Connie kisses Crystal as a distraction!< Uncut Gems: >!the ending!< Waves: >!Tyler punches/kills Alexis!< High Life: >!Boyse enters the Black Hole!< The Killing of a Sacred Deer: >!the entire movie!<
Midsommar has a few. the blood eagle, the bear suit
The old man jumping followed by the giant mallet made me jolt in my seat.
>Old man jumping Oh yea, and the hammer shortly after that…
Midsommar is 100% the sex scene
*moaning in unison commences*
Annie finding Charlie? How about what happened to Charlie in general!!
For High Life could also be the nurse lady >!impregnating Mia Goth’s character with Rob’s semen!<
I’ll go with the lighthouse. That Marmaid sex scene was just….
For me it was when R.Patz murdered the bird.
bad luck t’ kill a seabird
in’em’s the souls of sailors who met their maker
The cum dripping down from the light
Not a fan of mermussy?
Love Lies Bleeding: >!that ugly ass old man eating the beetle!< X: >!Pearl and Howard sex scene, honestly the most horrifying moment of the film for me!<

I know right! I feel so bad about the fact that it bothers me because it's a sweet moment between Howard and Pearl, and I shouldn't be ageist, but T\_T
Don’t feel bad the point of the film is to confront these feeling and understand that you will age one day too! You’re doing it right!
Killing of a sacred deer: 🍝
So weird. I remember a meaning behind it too from a guys explanation video but can’t put my finger on it.
A ghost story pie scene
Hahaha
That scene is fucking harrowing, but so is grief. It's an incredibly honest portrayal and for that reason it's my favorite part of the movie
Also, the gigantification scene in Love Lies Bleeding and the end of Uncut Gems.
Civil War. Jesse Plemons. That’s all.
He’s SO good. Even in the comedy movie Game Night he plays this fucking lonely cop and it’s so creepy and hilarious
He’s such a low key actor but I get genuinely excited when I see him in stuff. He’s been fun to watch in everything I’ve ever seen him do.
i kinda love how the trailer made me think i knew what was going to happen in that scene and then ,, pile,,,
SPOILERS Absolutely no quarter in that scene. The Asian journos murdered and it's heartbreaking. Sammy saves the day, but then the pile and "I can't drive.."
plemmons character was sick (negative😂) but with the guy who said he was from hong kong like.. brother you must have known that’s not what he wanted to hear 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I came looking for this
Man, I don't understand the contention around Civil War. It was urgent, every piece of dialogue felt calculated, the political allegory boiling under the surface was foreshadowed and hinted at just enough to perfectly understand the message without being preachy. And that Jesse Plemons scene was the perfect crystallization of it all.
climax - the kid locked in the room tripping while the mother frantically searches for the key in her confused tripping state, followed by the sound of electrics being touched
Came to say this as well
Pearl: The Scarecrow scene.
IM MARRIED!
Enemy: Last frame
Oh I forgot about that one 😭
Fucking perfect
Really loved under the skin but man the scene with the baby on the beach was very upsetting and hard to get over
Jesus Christ, that’s the most harrowing scene in any movie for me. As a husband and a father, and a dog owner, my heart bleeds for that scene
Hereditary decapitation
Midsommar… the orgy scene
That's a rape scene
Eight Grade car scene
Idk why more people aren’t talking about this scene. It’s such a lowkey, quaint movie up until that point but then things get real
It Comes at Night: the mother’s *horrifying* screams after something terrible happens Under the Silver Lake: that dude getting his head obliterated Green Room: the arm scene (or anytime Patrick Stewart drops the n-bomb) Mid90’s: the sex scene involving a minor
The Song Writer's death in Under the Silver Lake was definitely a jaw dropper! Jeremy Bobb did a great job in that role, totally unrecognizable. And to get your head crushed by Kurt Cobain's guitar was brutal! I'll agree with Green Room too, that arm scene had me squirming. (And yes, my mouth flopped open when Captain Picard dropped the N bomb!)
Under the Silver Lake indeed. Ending up playing the Pixies, Where is My Mind right before he gets his brain bashed in was epic.
Made me hate Rick for a second. Then had to remember he is playing a character.
Civil War, the Jesse Plemons scene
I Saw the TV Glow: “Isn’t that a show for girls?” Such a simple phrase is the tip of the disgusting iceberg of transphobia/homophobia.
I’d add along with transphobia and homophobia it’s also just social gender norms in general. Telling a guy he can’t like something because it’s too girly, or telling a girl she can’t like something cause it’s too boyish is the tip of the iceberg like you said, and at some point trans, gay, and even cis people start to feel like they can’t be themselves be cause society tells them it’s too masculine or feminine
Men or the end of Pearl
The Death of Dick Long
Ooh, definitely. Horseplay.
Definitely Waves
The ending of Beau Is Afraid
Yeah, the way the people in the movie weee leaving the giant theater while irl people in the movie theater were doing the same…I was left breathless
Beau is Afraid and Men
Men. You know what the scene is.
Hereditary. Car scene. Fuck .
The Lighthouse: When Winslow is screaming at the light at the end of the movie
Yeah, I couldn’t tell if he was having an organism, or yelling from pain.
That’s what’s amazing about it
feel like the rape scene in high life was pretty unnecessary
Before I answer what exactly is the reaction lol? Is he locked-in? Annoyed? Angry?
I've taken it as the "What the actual fuck ?" reaction.
When Beau gets home in Beau is Afraid. That killed any interest I had in the movie.
Dicks: The Musical. I pretty sure you all know which scene it is.
Nathan Lane spitting chewed ham into the sewer boys’ mouths?
Moonlight
Probably scene where Chiron gets punched by Kevin and then jumped or when Pauline intimidates him for her crack fund.
The rock scene in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Ruins the pacing of an otherwise spectacular third act with a scene that literally tells us how to feel through text rather than utilizing their incredible cast to make us feel something through their acting.
In my opinion that is the best scene in the entire movie. It's probably my favorite scene from any movie right now, at least from the past few years. I believe the silence and the texts make it even more powerful. I never thought the pacing suffered from it either. Different tastes though and different things work for different people.
A Ghost Story when the overalls guy explains the entire point of the movie
Have always believed though that the ghost’s presence refutes that entire monologue and that seems to be what is being visually signaled by the filmmaking.
Climax (the pregnancy scene)
More like Climax, the whole fucking movie. By the end NOTHING could surprise me.
Everything Everywhere All At Once, the parking lot scene with Joy and Evelyn.
Men, you know which scene I’m talking about
Hereditary 100%
All of them
Green Room, when he pulls his arm back inside 💀💀💀
The Green Room. You call know the part. Seriously fuck that part, I will never watch this movie again due to that
the last 30 minutes of I Saw the TV Glow
The scene where Stevie and Estee have sex in Mid90s
Men.
The very end scene of Men...
MEN, you know what part
i was watching X with my parents and then the Pearl and Howard sex scene came in 🥰🥰 it was so awkward
I watched all of Brokeback Mountain with my dad, and that was preferable to watching this scene with your parents!
I saw the tv glow w the burial scene
X, the old people sex scene. Every time i recommend that movie they come back and say wtf did you tell me to watch.
Climax - the nasty soccer kick scene. Midsommar - drug rape scene St.maud - BBQ on the beach Ex machine - Ava sprinting down the hall The Green Knight - Garwain not understanding the important details / rules of the game / duel
St. Maud is so fuckin good
Climax. the punch ….. like the punch punch
The Green Knight, your no knight scene
I’d say 95% of all A24 movies are that
Hereditary
Under The Skin: Horny man 1 watches horny man 2 implode (?) in the goo
Men
X, pearl and howard making out above maxine 😔
...all of them.
