Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4912283, member: 974"] [B]Beau is afraid (2023)[/B] This is the kind of colossal failure that is only possible when a director takes a big swing. I am a fan of big swings but not of this movie. It is the worst piece of garbage I have watched as an adult. The cast is great, Joaquin Phoenix as Beau, Nathan Lane, Patti Lupone, and wasted. At 179 minutes it is torture. The film is unnecessarily long with stretches of virtual nothingness like walking slowly or languid close ups that reveal nothing. You could easily cut an hour (or more) out of this film which would be a great relief for audiences. Beau lives in a violent, dystopia and is making a trip home to see mom who may or my not be dead. I warned you. It is awful. Don't watch it. Zero stars. [/QUOTE]
