Critics Consensus

Intoxicating with its maxxximal style, MaXXXine is an uneven but vibrant pastiche that drives a stiletto through Hollywood's heart.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

For all the clutter, there’s nothing as fun as X’s mechanical alligator jump scares or Pearl’s scarecrow humping. And then there’s the problematic big reveal. We won’t spoil it: we’ll leave you to experience the jump-the-shark moment for yourself.

Rated: 3/5

I like this series so much as a commentary on the artificiality of Hollywood... Terrific fun.

MaXXXine’s resolution is merely predictable—and disappointing given the larger intimations of some grand narrative design.

Nashville Scene

There are some great images, and a couple of superb set pieces. But this is a film that absolutely could have used another rewrite and another 20 minutes of runtime.

Loud and Clear Reviews

All in all, MaXXXine gets lost in its own meta “film within a film within a film” lineage and ultimately gives an “A+” final girl a “B-” finale.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Frenzy

Writer-director Ti West’s 2022 twofer of X and Pearl proved to be so potent that they collectively filled a slot on my year-end 10 Best list. So where does that put MaXXXine, the final film in the trilogy? Way back in the caboose, alas.

Rated: 2.5/4

So disappointed in this movie. Maxine barely talks in the whole film and her choices were so idiotic, it took me out of the film. I did love the ‘80’s aesthetic the movie brought. They really wanted that grainy slasher movie vibe and even got the obviously fake blood effect going on. I wish the story was more compelling like the first 2. Mia Goth is a great actress and she was under utilized in this film.

I love X & love Pearl, Maxxxine not so much. It lacks a lot of what makes the first 2 movies in the trilogy special. I kept waiting for some type of thrilling climactic excitement, only for it to have a really weak third act.
