Critics' Consensus

“Beau is Afraid is a self-indulgent, mean-spirited film with a bloated runtime and a one-note lead performance. Despite strong supporting actors and an engaging visual style, the movie lacks emotional payoff and fails to deliver on its thematic ambitions.”

“Hereditary and Midsommar director Ari Aster's latest film, Beau is Afraid, is a shockingly bad epic that will leave you wishing you could get the three hours it cost you back.”
