Ok, let's do a recent horror opinion: I hate Ti West's X. Thematically, there's a lot to work with: the 70s, porn, exploitation film, beauty and ageing but in the end it says very little about anything. It's not even a good slasher! Even if you were to view it as pure pastiche it fails on every level. And I've enjoyed Mia Goth in other things but I got absolutely nothing from her performance in this one. I find the reviews even more baffling: in what world is X "authentic"?? I feel like we are so used to contemporary reinterpretations of the 70s that we forget to what filmmakers are supposedly paying homage. I'm taking this as my final cue to #believewomen and trust my own instincts and never watch Pearl. Cute that I share a namesake with a final girl though <3
