Beau Is Afraid

This movie dives deep into childhood trauma and the longterm effects of having a gaslighting, abusive parent. Throught his childhood, Beau's mother grooms him and blames him for things he has no control over. This, in turn, leads Beau to develop a constant fear of being guilty of something he has no recollection of doing, making him question his entire existence. These fears, doubt and guilt manifest in a three hour long odyssey that is Beau is Afraid. This movie was uncomfortable, and at times horrific to watch, but it was artfully crafted, incredibly detailed, and moving.
