Filmmaker Ti West returns with another chapter from the twisted world of X, in this astonishing follow-up to the year's most acclaimed horror film. Trapped on her family's isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she's seen in the movies, Pearl finds her ambitions, temptations, and repressions all colliding in this stunning, technicolor-inspired origin story of X's iconic villain.

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 Says

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.

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

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

CGMagazine

Aesthetics aside, a movie like Pearl lives and dies off the lead performance, and Mia Goth delivers a show-stopping performance here.

Rated: 8.5/10

Paul Klein

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

Mia Goth dominates the film, given pretty much the entire screen to fill and the runtime to stretch her legs – this is entirely her domain and as Pearl she gives a horror performance for the ages.

Rated: 4/5

Nerdspin

All in all, "Pearl" doesn’t disappoint. While the film’s premise ponders the obsessive ambition and showcases its aftermath, the performances and costume design will impress scene after scene.

Rated: A-

I eagerly waited six months to see this in 2022, after seeing the surprise reveal at the end of X that Ti West and Mia Goth had made a secret prequel. I watched the re-release of X one week ago tonight, and I once again eagerly awaited this re-release of Pearl on the big screen. Mia Goth is just as mesmerizing the second time around. It’s criminal that she wasn’t nominated for this performance at the Academy Awards. Don’t want to nominate a grisly horror movie? Fine. I get that. But SHE should’ve been. It was a tour de force of acting. Now I can’t wait to see Maxxxine next week!
