Review of Beau Is Afraid (2023) by Cincom — 26 Apr 2023

This movie is overly long. There are parts of it that are very funny but the biggest problem this movie has is its main character. Beau is ineffectual, bland and boring. He's a human being whose spark has been drained from him due to his life circumstances.

You feel bad for him but you also don't want to spend 3 hours with the guy. At no point in this movie do you care enough about the character of Beau that you want to see him actually get to any sort of destination.

Nor does Beau develop enough as a character that makes his odyssey worth watching. His world is filled with terrible people who do terrible things to each other. Your time is important, use it elsewhere.
