Pearl

Filmmaker Ti West returns with another chapter from the twisted world of X, in this astonishing follow-up to his acclaimed horror film. Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl finds her ambitions, temptations, and repressions all colliding in this stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X’s iconic villain.

Critic Reviews:

• ” A savvy deepening and recontextualising of a must-see scary-movie franchise that’s as much about desire, dreams and determination as notching up deaths. “ – Sarah Ward (Concrete Playground)

• ” Goth’s energy, focus and commitment here is extraordinary. “ – Paul Whitington (Irish Independent)

• ” Pearl exists primarily as a savage and silly showcase for the utterly luminous Goth, who sinks her acting teeth into the myriad tones and vibes of the character. “ – Tom Beasley (Film Stories)
