Rumor has it Mia Goth's smile has never left the frame. Her monologue isn’t acting. Pearl doesn’t want a heart or a brain. She wants fame, and she’ll smile through every slaughter until the credits roll. The movie looks like a dream... a really weird one. The farm has never looked so bright and so rotten at the same time. The scarecrow, the alligator, and that final I don't have anymore words to the Pearl. Give Mia the Oscar. Then hide the axes.
