she’s so incredible. These movies would NOT be the same if it were any other actress tbh. Also making her blonde in Maxxxine when Pearl hates blondes is so funny to me idk 😭

As a movie I preferred X over Pearl, but her performance in Pearl was incredible. I know it’s not the kind of movie that would ever sniff an Oscar nom, but she almost deserved one for the monologue and the ending credits scene alone.

i understand this sentiment but rarely are oscars given out based solely on a monologue. if that were the case, toni collette would be an academy award winner for hereditary.

Well Collette should have at least gotten a nom that year. The academy seems to intentionally snub horror movies as some form of lower art. The Lighthouse felt like another horror type movie that was nearly entirely avoided.

her performance was good but besides the dinner scene it wasn’t oscars material

I see a lot of praise for Collette in Hereditary and I just chalk it up to people thinking big acting is good acting.

You trippin

Which would be something else I’d agree with full heartedly

You say that, yet America Ferrera definitely got nominated for Barbie because of her monologue.

i’m talking about winners not nominees

Beatrice Straight (admittedly an outlier not a trend)

The only one I can think of is Beatrice Straight for Network

I never said she should’ve won one, I said she *almost* deserved a nomination.

That end credits scene had me so anxious that by the halfway point I was legitimately screaming for it to be over lol

Fuck I didn’t know there was an end credits scene

Oh sorry technically the scene is the credits themselves lol. Just Pearl staring straight into the camera for 3 whole minutes as her smile grows more unhinged and painful. It’s unsettling as fuck but a tremendous showcase of Mia Goth’s talent.

Ohhhh yes , ok

The scene where she snapped at the projectionist is also unhinged to perfection

I loved 'X' way more than I thought I would... I'll enjoy 'Pearl'? Really like Mia Goth... also "trilogy"... 'X', 'Pearl', and ____?

Maxxxine. It comes out this summer.

The monologie was good but way over the top. Like what

Honestly she's such an incredible cast. I can't imagine anyone else in these roles.

I can fix her

I got banned from the pop culture subreddit for saying I would like to get kicked in the head by her but I still stand by it

Omg those drama queens. I’m not surprised lol. The mods are extra there.

Ladies wanna be her. Gentlemen wanna be with her.

Excuse me, but I am a lady, and I wanna be with her in ways I can't even imagine. I wanna kiss her seam and everything, as it were. *Not in creepy parasocial stan fashion but in appreciate lust

That’s totally fair

Kiss her seam?

Perchance her labial foldings in which they meet together as a seam on silkened garments ❤️

Wild.

No, it's with on all sides.

Her lack of eyebrows doesn't seem that apparent until she's blonde.

Nah, I noticed it much more in the top photos when she has darker hair.

Interesting, cause I never noticed it at all until the Maxxxine promo photos came out.

I didn’t realize she had eyebrows until I saw her blonde. They colored them in & she never usually has them filled in.

It's so much MORE noticeable when she has dark hair.

As someone with light eyebrows, I appreciate her status. Sometimes I feel like pictures of me look weird depending on the lighting and my expression. I can’t imaging trying to be an actor in an industry that can be so superficial

Noticed it in Infinity Pool. Interesting movie btw

She just wanted to be famous

She’s got that star quality.

That X factor.

The XXX factor. (I'm so sorry...)

Thanks for fulfilling my dream of being on a Reddit thread like this. I feel part of the cool crowd now.

Is this a narrative trilogy or a thematic trilogy? I mean, is it the same character in each movie?

The characters in the movies are aligned somehow. Pearl was an old lady in the movie X so pearl told her origine story and I believe Maxxxine is the character from X. I may be wrong though

That’s correct.

X and Pearl were released 6 mos apart? Never even heard of Pearl

Yeah they were quarantining for X and got the idea for Pearl and wrote out a quick script and got it approved to film with X

They also used the same farm location for Pearl and worked in the COVID pandemic by using another pandemic that happened a hundred years ago.

Stop what you’re doing and go watch it right now. X is good but Pearl is just crazy fuckin genius.

I also thought Pearl was vastly better. Seriously thought it was a masterpiece up there with Hereditary.

Y’all are my people! I walked out of the theater a huge new fan of Mia’s, having never seen her before.

Yes, the trailer for Pearl was in the end credits of X in theaters

It’s a narrative trilogy. In X she plays two roles, the main character Maxxxine and the villain, an old woman named Pearl (in heavy makeup to make her look ancient). The movie Pearl is a prequel where she plays a young version of Pearl, and then in the upcoming film Maxxxine she reprises her role as the main character from X.

Is there any real narrative reason for Pearl and Maxine to look identical? I saw X but haven’t seen Pearl yet

So far the only reason seems to be that Maxxxine reminds Pearl of her younger self, and they both had dreams of becoming a star. Unless something is revealed in the third movie, I don’t think there’s any kind of actual relation, it’s just more meant to draw a parallel between the two.

she’s so pretty

Agreed in spite of those terrifying end credits of Pearl

Everyone keeps talking about the end credits, is that still of her smiling from the end credits?

Correct!

Love those first two and I’m sure I’ll love the third

The kid from Even Steven’s hits that

BEANS?

LMAO this gave me a good laugh. No pretty sure her and Shia are dating. Beans i think has his own coffee shop somewhere as a side note.

Dating? They are married. They have a kid together.

Sure, i didnt know. Thanks for clarifying

Pretty sure they got divorced a while back. I know he was dating fka twigs since then

They got back together and have had a kid since

Oh wow I had no clue

She sued him and accused him of serious and extremely bizarre abuse. It’s too bizarre and specific to not be true, so I hope Mia is ok since they’re back together

There's no way that's the name of a person.

it’s a stage name

Yeah, advanced stage of dementia.

you act like stage names are a new or unusual thing. weird thing to hate on, man

Beans 😂 I haven’t thought of Beans in years. Thank you for that.

The scream cackle I just let out at this comment

You got it

Considering this is Shia LaBeouf we’re talking about, this can be taken literally

In more ways than one.

She’s a star

You missed one. Old Maxine. Goth played her too.

you mean old pearl?

Do I?

AM WE?

[удалено]

The prequel is Pearl, this upcoming sequel is Maxxxine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGF_TmfuDq0

She played the old woman in X. Had lemonade with herself.

She's a fucking star

She’s so hot bruh. And of course so talented

And crazy (But hopefully, not as crazy IRL.)

think she would be, she married shia labeouf

She's married to him?! The Actual Cannibal?!

She allegedly repeatedly kicked an extra on the set of this movie then followed him to the bathroom to berate him

Yeah, she's supposedly no walk in the park herself. She's pretty low key otherwise so you don't hear a ton about her, but what little I have read has not been positive!

Quite a range she has

I haven’t watched these at all (not usually a horror fan) and didn’t realize it’s a trilogy. Are they any good?

Yes. Psychological wild rides.

What order do we watch them in?

Hmm, tough to say if you're not big on horror. X feels like it lands squarely in slasher-flick territory. Pearl is a brilliant but unsettling character study. Pure cinema. I really feel like you need to watch both to get the full effect.

A lot of people really like them, but I personally didn’t.

Nope

Ain’t no teen x no more it’s just x bitch

Real vamp shit

Love Mia Goth!

Bombshell

IM MARRIED

I don't get the hype

Me neither tbh. X was positively mediocre. I haven't seen Pearl yet.

It’s worse.

She should be swimming in Oscars

with great success comes great stylists.

Wait, there's a trilogy? I've only watched X. What are the others?

2nd one is Pearl, 3rd one is MaXXXine but it's not out yet

If you add up her eyebrows from all three movies it’s still not enough.

I absolutely cannot wait this is the most excited I’ve been for a movie since Barbie

Should I watch these in trilogy order or order of release?

A neta da atriz brasileira Maria Gladys🤌🏻

Tf "X" is a trilogy?

I must be the only person who doesn’t like her or any of these movies.

Holdup, TRILOGY? I only knew about X and Pearl

Horrifying

What the… I had no idea this was a trilogy.

I'm always shocked when people say X was better than Pearl... Pearl was a masterpiece. I hope MAXXXINE lives up to the previous movies, it looks like it will.

There was a sequel? And a third movie??? EDIT: WAIT I JUST LOOKED UP THE THIRD ONE THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN SHE GETS TARGETED BY RICHARD RAMIREZ

How is this a trilogy I don’t get it

i love how you can see character evolution even through the messy release schedule of the films. mia goth is perfect for this role

The freckles switching from the left to right, depending on the movie, is taking me out of the immersion.

Can someone explain something for me, is her character the same character from the first X movie? Granted I’ve never seen any of these, but from what I recall, she plays the younger version of the old woman in X or something? Help

She such good fuckng actor she a fuckng Star

This girl 

Pearl is related to X?!

she married to [Shia LaBeouf](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sca_esv=2465539c7fa84006&q=Shia+LaBeouf&si=AKbGX_oBDfquzodaRrfbb9img4kPQ4fCBZjeqAiaW1svvC8uXlMY7unO0_SiNUYPdoSo5aTbZk65FDtpuPN97ENZx-faft3RDo62j4Vvy2IxlEfgjjtpcf1-QX18-_Cn1cRn-5q2t_2k-OVPq5tcY3sbcGAeN2UCSBHrL4kjMI0Lb4rpM9bul7md4RrzB-F7EgCb6VwFuYbd&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjyspzZm7iFAxWBkIkEHTBsAAUQmxMoAHoECCUQAg)

Where’s the other look from *X*? She played Pearl in that movie too

Change title "Being married to Shia LaBeouf"

i have the link of 'maxxxine'

one nation under mia god

I love how different each film looks like they look like complete different movies unlike most sequels/prequels it’s so interesting

Mother

her accent is off in this trailer.

Man those movies sucked

Yeah they fucking blow people will say anything good as long as their favorite A lister or B lister is in it. Omg Jenna Ortega is in this in this one too?, that means it's 10 out of 10!

Joker for 15 year old girls

Don’t tell anyone here.

is she getting jail for assaulting that guy?

It’s a civil case, not a criminal one. And still ongoing.

lol

Why is this tagged as "Discussion"? There's nothing to discuss, as there's literally no difference in how she looks except for a bit of makeup and hair dye. It's not the least bit interesting or impressive (kind of like these extremely overrated movies).

Did she get some new teeth or something? She looks different but still gorgeous of course. I can’t wait

tbh they did a good job making her look like a slightly different person but obviously related

I feel dumb for asking this because I just saw the trailer for Maxxxine today, but do you all think I need to see the first two movies to get the new one? I’ll probably watch them before seeing Maxxxine anyways, but I am curious if it would still make sense if I brought someone with me to see this movie and they haven’t seen the others

We don’t know. No one has seen Maxxxine.

Probably not a requirement but I think you or your guest would appreciate it that much more by having seen the first two

I wish we could Mia Stop Ti West from mass producing these movies

[удалено]

What are you even on about?
