Pearl (2022) ⭐ 7.0 | Drama, Horror, Thriller
September 16, 2022 - This is more of a character piece with horror elements than a traditional horror movie. There's elements that worked for me and scenes that left me scratching my head. I will say I was very frustrated watching this movie. Every scene with the alligator was awesome. There's a pitchfork scene, fight with the mother and explosion I adored. The father was also a solid, creepy character (the bath scenes made me cringe). However, the movie feels like it is trying too hard to prove Pearl is insane.

Pearl movie review & film summary (2022) | Roger Ebert
Pearl
And while “Pearl” is a monster movie, Goth’s character has a villain of her own, her mother Ruth, portrayed with haunting disgust this side of “Mommie Dearest” by an incredible Tandi Wright. Repression is evil’s trick in “X” and now “Pearl”; it makes connection, pleasure, and so much that is fruitful all the more out of reach. It gets people killed. Ruth helps make sense of the horror ... Something is not right with Pearl (Mia Goth), and she’ll never understand why. She’s too set in her ways, like her need to perform on haystacks while dancing with a pitchfork, or murdering animals when no one

Pearl (2022) Movie Review - Knockout Horror
November 3, 2024 - Being completely honest, I totally didn’t get the hype surrounding X. Outside of the Tarantino-wannabe stylings of Ti West, the constant nods to the camera and retro-modern take on psycho-biddy horror. I just found it to be a formulaic, slow paced and rather dull slasher with little to separate it from the crowd. To say this numbed my enthusiasm for Pearl would be something of an understatement. Damn was I wrong to judge the prequel in a vacuum with the first movie.

I really liked this movie, more than X even. I loved how the character of Pearl was almost empathetic at first, due to the emotional abuse she suffered, but then slowly was revealed to be a monster. Aesthetically, the shot of her wearing the bright red dress while chasing her sister in law wielding the axe in broad day light I thought was one of the best scenes in a horror movie I have ever seen

Big Mia Goth fan; I don’t think either movie would’ve worked as well without her

Almost like what would happen if the Coen Brothers decided to make a straight up horror movie, consulting with Wes Anderson on the color scheme. I just watched for the first time this AM, amazing how long Mia Goth held that closing shot at the end while half of the credits were rolling

Mike's Review: Pearl (2022) - The Scariest Things
September 21, 2022 - Written by Ti West and Mia Goth, the film’s back-story doesn’t add much to this blood-soaked triptych, but instead degrades the perfectly concocted couple in the first film, X. I never really cared to hear their back-story, but there will be some of you out there that were clamoring for an early 1900s horror show. Pearl looks great and Ti West employs some interesting cinematic tidbits from the Edwardian Era, but only a few here and there.

A Critically-Acclaimed 2022 Horror Movie Is Climbing Netflix's Top Charts - SlashFilm
August 21, 2024 - For every lesser-seen title that actually deserves its success on the service (like Bryan Cranston's legal drama series "Your Honor"), it seems like yet another tedious Kevin Hart vehicle somehow ends up topping the Netflix charts. Thankfully, this week's surprise entry in the Netflix top 10 — Ti West and Mia Goth's critically-acclaimed 2022 horror movie "Pearl" — is one of those titles that does indeed merit a second wind.

PEARL (2022) Review. Review of Ti West’s 2022 horror… | by Lexi Bowen | Medium
March 21, 2023 - Pearl follows that trend, turning its sights on Douglas Sirk style melodramas of the 1950s. And, in typically West-ian fashion, it is lovingly and beautifully presented to the point where half the fun comes in just watching the painstakingly realized rendition of a specific style and aesthetic play out on screen (it looks gorgeous). Moreover, much like X, cinema is a key component to the plot here too. While the previous movie focused on the porn industry of the 70s, Pearl does similar for the 1910s (the flick is set in 1918, during the influenza pandemic, which gives it a whole heap of contemporary allusions that are pretty interesting).

r/movies on Reddit: Pearl: An X-traoridinary Origin Story (2022). Well, holy fuck, THAT is some fucking acting.
September 10, 2023 -
It's not hard to see why Martin Scorsese, of all people, was very disturbed by this movie.
Mid March 2022, "one goddamn fucked up horror picture" named X was released, telling the tale of a porno shoot going horribly awry. All but one were brutally murdered by an old ass retiree named Pearl, played by an unrecognizable young British lady married to a cannibal.
In her X-traoridinary Origin Story, we go 60 years back. It's 1918. World War I is nearing its end (Pearl's husband Howard is fighting in the war) and the Spanish Flu is around. Young farmer girl Pearl is closed off from the world at her German parents' farm... in Texas. Pearl is dreaming of being a dancer (a chorus girl), even spending time at the movies watching her dreams on the screen, something her mother doesn't approve of. A run-in with the projectionist, her sister-in-law telling her that they're holding chorus girl auditions soon, and her mother's constant torment soon result in Pearl slowly becoming deranged.
Contrasting the dark and gloomy X, Pearl is pretty, colorfull and bright. Also has Star Wars style wipe transitions. And all of this is anchored by co-writer and producer Mia Goth's unbelievable performance. Again, Scorsese being blown away isn't shocking by the time you reach the 90 minute mark, with 12 left. Her emotions are so insanely well portrayed they actually feel real. Mia Goth deserves any award she's nominated to for her performance.
The series of events that unfold throughout the movie, with Pearl's slow descent into madness, culminates in an ending you probably know about even if you haven't watched the movie. It's impressive and disturbing, yes, but what makes it impressive and disturbing is what leads up to it.
Hats off to Ti West and Mia Goth, because THAT is some fucking acting.
