Mia Goth’s monologue in the third act is chilling, absolutely chilling in a way that’s both vulnerable and eerie. Between this, X, and the upcoming MaXXXine I think it’s safe to say Goth is already a horror icon.

Holy fuck, Mia Goth! That end credits scene is gonna freak me out for days.

Great acting but whew was this boring

So different from X but yet so familiar the setting, style and nods to the first keeps reminding you this is a prequel. A strong character study on Pearl and her origin story as she absolutely spirals into madness. Mia Goth gives one of the best performances of the year and definitely the best of her career yet! I love how up close and personnal we get to know her character and how close the camera gets to her face it's like looking straight at her soul. If I had to say something negative about it is that it gets predictable. Overall an amazing prequel that keeps the X factor from the first! The final scene was sooo iconic! I absolutely loved every second of it and can't decide if I liked it more than X, they're equals for now. 9/10 (first and second watch)

I thoroughly enjoyed this, but those end credits!!! I couldn't stop staring back at her, but it was also so unsettling. Really brilliant stuff, can't wait for MaXXXine
