Beau is Afraid
Horror auteur Ari Aster returns with a dread-inducing and brilliantly undefinable third feature. Beau is Afraid—starring Joaquin Phoenix, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Amy Ryan—follows a paranoid man as he embarks on an epic, anxiety-ridden odyssey to get home to his mother. Along the way, Beau encounters a stable of characters from his past who force him to confront the darkness lurking in his subconscious.
Making his highly anticipated return to the big screen following his smash hit Midsommar, Aster delivers another ingeniously depraved trip that critics are calling “the Citizen Kane of mommy-issues movies” (Rolling Stone).
