Critics Consensus

Pearl finds Ti West squeezing fresh gore out of the world he created with X -- and once again benefiting from a brilliant Mia Goth performance.

Audience Consensus

Pearl's slightly bumpy plot is no match for the amazing Mia Goth, whose terrific performance takes Ti West's eerie atmosphere over the top.

loved her over the topic eccentric attitude. great that she called people out on their BS. the world should be more like this, instead of people just lying to your face and thinking that they can do whatever they want and go about living their daily lives.

New Statesman

Pearl wants so badly to be a star. Part of the film’s pleasure lies in realising that Goth already is.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Goth is riotously entertaining throughout, but two specific scenes, in both of which the camera rests solely on her face for an extended shot, capture the full force of her unnerving talent.

Rated: 4/5

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

She slashes, stabs and decapitates aplenty, and proves a dab hand with a pitchfork. That’s essentially the film. It’s Judy Garland goes rogue on a farm.

Rated: 2/5

Ti West’s prequel cements the “X” Cinematic Universe as a force to be reckoned with.

A Good Movie To Watch

A mutli-layered exploration of womanhood in relation to exposure and performance.
