  MaXXXine 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Jul 2024

  MaXXXine absolutely nailed everything it was going for. It remains narratively and stylistically cohesive with X and Pearl while also being its own incredible film. It’s just as thematically rich as the rest of the trilogy, and is the most visually entertaining film of all three. It masters the murder-mystery genre, as well as the dirty backdrop of the 1980s satanic panic and Night Stalker killings. This film far exceeded my expectations, wrapped up the trilogy brilliantly, and made me beyond excited for what Ti West is going to make in the future.

The same things we have seen dozens of times continue to be recycled, every character makes the most stupid decisions imaginable, and there are so many different plots that it feels like there is no overall plot.…
