Pearl

I have just finished Pearl and by just saying that this is one of my top 5 movies I have ever watched I think you all can get an idea of how much I've loved this masterpiece. In order to summarize this I will only provide two perfect words: MIA GOTH. This girl! She is a force of nature! I have never ever seen such a charismatic and enchanting performance in my whole life. I know I say this about every good movie or performance I see, but this time I really mean it; Mia Goth must win a fucking Oscar for her performance in Pearl. I will not even be satisfied with her getting a nomination, she deserves to win that damned award. That 8 minute monologue where she confesses all of her crimes and the camera doesn't stop focusing on her and her performance... Or the credit scene when Howard finally arrives and she stares at the camera with that creepy smile and then starts crying without blinking or stop smiling... This woman is mad talented. She even helped Ti West to write this fucking movie! The character of Pearl herself is the most perfect anti-hero Hollywood has ever seen. Even the fucking Joker wishes he had the depth Pearl has. She totally embodies the female rage, the fear of failing in life, the horror daughters feel when they realize they are just a mirror of her mother, the selfish jealousy one may feel while seeing somebody else achieving your own dreams. A perfect portrayal of girlhood. A ten out of ten. And let's not talk about the directing, editing, transitions, music, colors!!!! Let's thank the director, editors, actors, cinematographer, etc. They did the most with a little budget! Without even knowing if #XMovie was going to be so successful! This movie was literally a leap of faith and a love letter to cinema.
