Quick Hit

Pearl comes off like a head-trip horror piece—unhinged, tragic, while the pressure keeps climbing.

Full Take

Pearl leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Ti West keeps the tone unhinged without letting the movie drift. It balances style and ugliness the right way, letting the mood get under your skin before the worst of it lands. Not flawless, but the swing is worth it.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I’m in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didn’t fully connect.
