BEAU IS AFRAID (2023) Explained 

So much of this feels like a metaphor of how anxiety disorders feel like to a person, and how it make negative experiences go from 'I made a mistake' to 'I am the worst person ever'. With anxiety disorders, you always think pf the worst case scenerio, even if it is completely ridiculous. Couple this with a mother who is suffering from her own disorders. We don't know the full picture of his mother, but we know the parts he's had to deal with: perfectionist, controlling, narcissistic. It's a portrait of a person with a severe anxiety disorder going through a mental breakdown, with an increasingly surreal world where everything you try to attach to for love/stability capsizes, or comes at a cost.

The first time I watched this I went, "Damn I hope FoundFlix talks about this" because I had NO idea what was going on. SO THANK YOU!!!

As someone who has severe anxiety that’s resulted in agoraphobia, this movie feels so real for the dumb stupid fears I deal with, the worst case scenarios and such

This movie reminds me of when you have a dream and you can’t even do the simplest stuff without all this crap happening lol.

I think that the cop thought that Beau was the birthday boy stabber.

When I was homeless and was sleeping in my secret base(it was a attic type thing in a business building) and I woke to two electricians working on the electric box there. I said good morning and I'll get going. But then they said they are almost done and to stay and get more sleep. Maybe someday I'll write my memoirs

For me, there is a lot of implication that Mona was SAing Beau, trying to literally morph him into the husband she lost while still attempting to keep him an innocent boy. The anxiety about sex, the one girl he had attraction to acting like his mother, and Mona constantly deflecting all his mistakes and her grievances on him all point to someone who was kept in perpetual childhood for his mother's own sick needs. When Beau started to grow and ask questions, she immediately goes into aggressive mode and pretend that she's being hurt. In reality, Beau is just growing up and Mona can't stand it. She wants to have the best of both worlds, husband and child, all at the same time. Beau also seems to hide from her a great deal, almost as if he's trying to prevent abuse from happening. Beau crying for help at the end is him begging for assistance from his mom's incessant cruelty.

Beau is Afraid and Uncut Gems are the most unrelentingly stressful movies I’ve ever seen

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought "Holy shit, he's actually gonna try and explain it..." Most people will not like this movie. I loved it. I also hated it. I would not watch it again, but I am glad that I did, and found it in equal parts entertaining and baffling. My take was that his mother used him as a pharmaceutical test subject when he was a child and did irreparable damage to his mind. Just as he can never tell what's real, neither can we observers.

the whole theater audibly would go "what the fuck" several times through out the films, it was awesome

i have bad anxiety and grew up with chronic guilt. this movie hit way too close to home. confusion, scared of the world, and feeling like the worst person in the world. i’m really glad im able to work through it, connect with the world, and realize that there’s nothing wrong with me

That sounds quite a bit like weaponized emotional incest, trying to convince a son that nobody is worthy to "replace" his mother.

I loved this movie! I really felt the anxiety and thought process behind Beau’s character! I loved how characters hint that Beau is on trial. He knows he isn’t doing anything wrong, and is desperately trying not to upset anyone around him, but still his actions are seen as transgressions against his mother further cementing why his mind works this way!

49 minute found flix episode? What a treat!

Fun fact, for the name of the town - Wasserton - “Wasser” means water in German!

As someone with severe anxiety, this film made sense. It does genuinely feel like the world is directly against you. The only voice of reason you have gets squashed out by the rest of the negative thoughts like it showed in the court scene. Turning situations that aren't even remotely bad into one's that feel like it was the worst experience you could have had. Always expecting the worst to happen when doing something which in turn becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. It's really rough. You aren't crazy but you're always terrified and alone and it feels like noone wants to help. You also don't have the tools to help yourself in most situations so it's just constricting.

This movie was the most stressed I've ever been watching anything. And I'm a big horror movie fan. I had to pause it several times to catch my breath. It was so well made. I can relate to him a little too much, extreme anxiety is so difficult to live with. I both love and hate this movie- another one that hits unrelentlessly hard is I'm Thinking of Ending Things. It made me deeply uncomfortable but it was also beautiful

One thing that wasn't addressed in this video, but may somewhat explain the escalating surrealism, is that Beau stops taking any sort of medication after running from Roger's house. While it's clear he has many issues, the insanity of the situation really ratchets up at that point. Anyone that's been in the sad position of trying to help someone schizophrenic who's stopped taking their meds will understand that after Beau wakes up in the forest, he's no longer in reality. The truth probably is, his mother is actually dead which caused Beau to have a mental break, Roger and his family were assigned to look after him, and he wandered into the forest under the influence of his hallucinations only to die of exposure. Edit: it would also explain a lot of the whys of the earlier portions of the story. I can't speak from experience, but I don't think people with even severe anxiety hallucinate someone kicking their doors in like the Incredible Hulk or an entire neighborhood of people storming an apartment building only to specifically trash just their residence and MURDER SOMEONE IN THEIR DOORWAY. I haven't seen the film, but from what I gathered from this video, Beau's mental problems are never specifically named. If you start from the basis that he has poorly managed schizophrenia rather than anxiety, the entire plot makes complete sense.

This was a personal attack I was going through a crisis and kept having dreams like this for years then I finally got to a point where I was stable and feeling confident then boom the trailer drops looking way too close to my reoccurring dreams with my god damn name slapped on it taunting me the cabal be wylin out here fr

My interpretation/theory is that Beau was actually too paranoid to be born in the first place. The entire apartment part was his perspective from the womb, where he imagined what the world is based off what his mom tells him- One day he'd be an old man, there's dead bodies in the street, tattooed people are evil, being a big crybaby over a spider, etc. His flight was his actual birthday that he missed because he couldnt lock up behind him and stayed behind, but when he broke away for water his apartment got destroyed and couldn't get back in and has to spend a night on the (abdominal) scaffolding. Once he did get back inside he remembers that someone could barge in and kill him (aborted) so he barricades himself inside and decides maybe he should leave which is when he calls his mom and a delivery person told him that his mom has "lost her head" (in reality Beaus mom is freaking out because her labor has gotten complicated while the person delivering tries to get beau to come out) and after he gets pushed outside in the nude and evades birthday suit stabby man (Dr choppy pp interpretation) he's smacked by a delivery truck (Probably the moment hes spanked) The next section he's literally saved by Grace, so Beau is probably imagining living with faith off what he's been told as well- The father performs miracles, their only son sacrificed their life, they have a recording of everything that has and will happen. The buzzer he uses to first call Grace is like an answered prayer, and the first thing Grace asks is "Did you press the button [Pray]?". The medicated (conditioned) soldiers name is Jeeves like a butler, so we can imply he does what told while Grace also mentions he doesnt know what hes doing, so he might be a representation of the unconscious followers. After Grace turns and sees Beau as a demon she grabs a sword which could symbolize waging war, because she then uses the soldier for perceived revenge. Importantly, in some faiths people are born sinners before they're purified, so this could be a root for his anxiety- that he's "guilty" before he's even done anything. There's a religious billboard outside Beaus apartment window that could symbolize both how big of a presence religion has in Beaus existence and also how he believes it's always looming overhead observing him. In the beginning of the movie, the box of trinkets that Beau chooses the figurine from could symbolize him selecting his faith (As a gift to his mom) and when the cabinet is opened the glass reflects the man who's threatening to jump off the building. Toni says that Beau has been being tested, while her friend Liz randomly appears in the forest part. They both film Beau, which could imply they're "angels with a million eyes" [if a video is worth a million views], where Toni could be an angel either testing Beau to atone or guiding his soul to the afterlife like a psychopomp, while her friend Liz could be Lucifer/Satan, the fallen angel which explains her appearance in the forest. Beau being stabbed by Birthdaysuit Stabby Man in two spots could be how Beau immediately gets his pp and umbilical cord cut, but the "puss-like" wound on his side could also be a brand, seeing how Beaus test could be to admitting he's a coward (which immediately concluded the forest). The forest could represent the absence of religion or his mom's description of satanism, which embraces freedom of will rather than vindicating it. The excluded and the lost ("Orphaned") put on the play of life creating their own stories, in which doing so Beau finds himself, until the wrath of Grace disturbs the peace. Theres a rehearsal where a man talks about blindly choosing between roads (faith) and if following one backtracks another, and another person who mentions hearing trumpets when its too late (Biblical Apocalypse). Theres a woman singing a song with the lyrics "You can give your life, you can lose your soul, you can bang your head or you can drown in a hole", which could reference Beaus choice between regretfully giving his life to faith or ending things by "drowning in a hole". After hes embraced the forest and "committed entirely" by giving the trinket to Penelope, he's smitten and zapped by electricity like a higher power striking down a heathen who has rejected faith. In the house section, the town and the company is named after Beaus mom because everything in his existence has been because of and a part of her, the W logo in the poster for the apartment can be seen as a "house" between two legs, Beaus Mom mentions 'Squeezing but getting nothing in return', and Beau encounters the only memory he'd have of seeing his dad. This section could represent something along the lines of either remembrance or control, with how what starts as a funeral dives into repressed memories, or how it seemed Beaus mother tried to oversee and manipulate Beau all his existence. The catering van outside is named after Shiva the destroyer, so maybe this is a representation of Beaus existence flashing before his eyes before death, all of which Beau shared with his mom even while she was working or medicated, and him being reunited with his loved ones in the afterlife. Since we see Elaine die by the family curse and is there when other Beau gets locked away, they could both be representations of who he could've been. The cruise could've been a representation of his mom's body carrying life like a vessel, with everyone on board an egg, which could explain the body in the pool (whos name is Gene, like a gene pool) while also impling that Elaine is actually Beaus fraternal twin seeing how they're the only children on the cruise, Beau just didnt realize they share the same mother (Also remember Elaines choice of words to describe her mother and asks if Beaus is the same). I think there's also something to be said with how Cruise Mona is a hopeful mother while Adult Mona is a scorn mother like her own mother was. There are times where she physically changes which could be showing how Mona "becomes" her own mother. This cycle of becoming your mother could explain why Elaine starts to put on Monas make-up The final part is where Beau expects to be judged as hes been told he would at the end of his life. His face before he sets sail is stuck in a gasping expression possibly exactly how his rigor mortis has set in, Beau is taken by boat towards his judgment like Charon carried those down the Styx towards the underworld. After his 1800DEFENSE lawyer is 'stoned to death', Beau realizes that he can't call for help and accepts death. IIRC my mom had taught me the lords prayer to include "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done", so if Beau was interpretting religion earlier it might explain how Beau "came" to his end in the final scene. I don't think he ever actually lived, but the anxiety stemmed by his anxiously religious mother made him paranoid about being born a sinner and was too afraid to live and he accidentally caused a complicated delivery that he didn't survive and instead experienced all the fears he thought would happen described by the only person he knew If Beau didn't survive being born then that could explain why he wasn't screaming in the beginning despite being such an anxious soul. I still find more little details everytime I rewatch with this perspective too, like how his mom's number is listed as Home, or how his apartment entrance (next to the XXX store) is a pair of narrow flesh toned hallways leading straight to Beaus bare-walled room (With something special at the end of the first hallway). The therapist visit in the beginning might actually be the last check up with the baby doctor, who he imagines looks a bit like a doctor sized baby, which explains how he shared information with Beaus mom. During that visit Beau is asked how long its been since he's visited his mom and he says 'Several months', and the doctors office has an abundance of bonsai trees which might symbolize growing life that's been pruned to take a desired form, both mentally by controlling his faith and physically by getting pruned by Dr choppy pp Edit: 5:16 The name of the show with the header "Tonight at 8PM" pretty much foreshadows this entire theory and can't just be a coincidence 👀 Edit 2: the grandmother's picture looks exactly like an incantation bowl used to prevent Lilith from taking babies during or after birth. Mona also shapeshifts (watch for the color green), just like Lilith can.

I think any interpretation that says "this is mostly in Beau's head" missed the mark of what the movie is saying. Yes, it's all crazy and surreal. The movie is also pretty explicit that all of this is REALLY happening, being deeply and intimately orchestrated by Beau's mother. From his perspective, he is unaware of this for most of the film and in shock of all the insanity, but the climax spells out that yes, this is like Hereditary where his strings have been pulled from the very beginning

This movie was crazyyyy. You won’t ever be bored lmao. Literally a 3 hour panic attack lol. Will never watch it again so I’m glad you’re explaining lol

As someone who has suffered from life-long anxiety, this movie hits hard. They did a great job at portraying anxiety. I kinda hope some of my family sees the movie so they understand me a bit more

i was waiting for you to explain the movie not just describe the literal movie happening

From the beginning I didn't even think his thoughts were too exaggerated, which probably others do. This movie is a great portrayal how anxiety feels like, even to us, who are not complete recluses and still live a normal day to day. It is just so hard bc every little things occupies the mind so much and can ruin a perfectly good day. Even a 2 min walk in a slightly crowded area with people just minding their business feels like a war zone. No wonder many also have OCD as the compulsive and intrusive thoughts are overlapping with anxiety.

I was so excited to share the little foreshadowing easer egg I discovered, about the toy boat capsizing near the beginning of the film. As per usual, you were already on it! Low-key my favorite part of the film is the scary punk rocker yelling: "It's hot!!" and disgustedly throwing his free soup on the ground.

I’m a massive Pink Floyd fan so I’m a little biased, but this film seems really thematically similar to “The Wall” album; The role of a missing father and fixation on that disappearance, the effects of an over-bearing mother who demonstrates toxic love, the questioning of one’s self when hidden behind a wall, or in this case, fear. Even the imaginary kangaroo court in the ending is reminiscent of one of the final songs on the album aptly titled “The Trial”. Overall just a very fascinating parallel in how each version goes about telling the story in a very different manner, one being an ambiguous album from almost 50 years ago and the other being an incredibly stylized 3 hour movie, yet both resolve in a frightening similar manner with the protagonist of each story, Pink and Beau respectively, following an almost identical narrative arc of bouncing from extremes in an attempt to sustain the cracks placed in their minds from an early age. Although the Napoleon film kinda infuriated me, I am glad to see Phoenix starring in another deep subjective film.

I knew when i watched clips of this movie, I'd never watch it. It's anxiety the movie. It's how having anxiety (plus certain trauma) feels. I'm so glad you did a video on it.

"In the few seconds he was gone, both his keys and his luggage had disappeared." Hah big adhd energy.

Yesss! I want a follow up video please! This is my favorite movie for 2023, it's so deep, yet, simple. It has so many layers to it's story... you do really good, at finding things I miss. I would love to hear more.

As much as I know these movies are great, your channel is how I experience a lot of these films. You present it in such a unique and engaging way that makes me feel like I’m still watching the movie. Love the channel!!

I have severe anxiety and I both love and hate how right this movie gets it. There was a time in my life when I was scared to eat or drink for fear of choking or developing an allergy suddenly. I still have flare up where I get ridiculously worked up over basically nothing

My sister was born with the umbilical cord around her throat and she had extremely bad anxiety. She has unhinged anxiety I.E. "there's a tooth growing in my throat". She didn't eat for a week because she swallowed gum and only drank soy sauce. I always told my parents that because she was breech that it might've affected her ability to survive so she acted out. My parents blame her for their demise but I love my sister ! She is healthy and doing SO well! She is a paralegal but doesn't talk to my family.

As someone with anxiety, this channel really connects me to the genre. I can say that I’ve seen the disturbing scenes form movies with out actually having to *see* them if you know what I mean. Hearing things described while they happen helps me feel more aware of what I’m watching and it gets rid of the existential dread some films leave behind after watching them. Good content as always!

Omg! I've been waiting for you to cover this. Thanks so much !

I was having a discussion about this movie the other day. I was asked what the movie was about, and I honestly didn't know how to answer that question. I never knew what was real or not throughout the whole thing.

I’ll always love Ari Aster’s films. Maybe not for the stories, but for the pure cinematography. Every shot is a piece of art in each movie… beautiful. Thank you for the recap!!

I would LOVE a follow up vid to this please! Def seems like there are a ton more themes to unpack here!

This is one of my favorite movies tbh. There are so many little Details in this movie. But one of my favorite things is the ice cream eating guy. He appears early in the film when beau leaves his therapist, on the cruise ship, at the end of the hall when young Elaine is knocking on doors to tell them about the body, and in his mothers house at the end of the film. There are definitely more that I missed, but those are the ones I remember.

Beau really needs a hug

I SAW THIS MOVIE WITH MY MOM FOR MOTHER’s DAY 💀💀💀

As someone who’s anxiety has gone through the roof when unexpected events happen, this hit way, way too hard. Beau would have been me if I didn’t manage to get my anxiety under control because holy SHIT, that fear of leaving your door unlocked or forgetting something crucial to you well-being is such a fear that resonated with me too many times.

I took the film much more literally. Everything we see happens and is orchestrated by Mona. I think from the point he missed his flight she flipped a switch and put a plan to action. Trying to force him through tests to become the man she expects without realizing she caused him to be the way he is. Mona owns the apartment. So she controls the environment. The lady that is Holly from the office really sells it for me, I can't remember her name. She's in the photo making up Mona at the end yeah but she also says certain things like I'm a mother too. Shouting it to the camera. She calls Beau a devil, because she has only heard of the man she is being paid to have there. The one Mona has built up. She sees him now. For the devil he supposedly is. I don't think something like her dialogue could be in Beaus head if certain fears are manifesting. She tries to break him out of it too with the notes and the moment before the tv. The husband really drills it in that it's his decision. He has to choose. Giving him every chance to pass the test. But Jeeves getting out wasn't part of the test. The daughter drinking paint is the ultimate wild card that Mona didn't predict. A lady who has her own town could do that for sure. I also like that the reporter that talks about blood and guts reporting is probably quoting the news anchor Christine Chubbuck

PLEASE! More about this movie. It's such a trip. I watched it on acid, and I think it makes even less sense sober. It captivated me and I couldn't look away. It's one of those movies you can watch a second or even third time and still feel like you're watching it for the first time.

This movie looks like a fever dream. The headless open casket had me rolling

As soon as I saw this I came to RU-vid to see if you covered this cause I was just right confused. It took a couple months but thank you. Thank you so much…

Yess!!!!! I’m so happy you’re reviewing this!!!

This movie stressed me the fuck out LOL theres a lot of experiences and topics that hit a little too close home for me personally. I absolutely adore this movie, and Im glad to still see people talking about it.

The “trial” at this movie was reminiscent to me of Albert Brooks’ character defending his life in order to ascend to the next plain of the afterlife in the movie-‘Defending Your Life.’ Trying to prove that he has conquered the fears in his earthbound life.

i’ve been SO EXCITED for you to post this!!!

I just watched it last night. Like most Ari Aster films, I had moments of confusion, but my anxiety was at an all time high (just like Beau). It gave me a David Lynch like surrealism perspective. It also demonstrated how powerful anxiety is. It’s clear he has a toxic relationship with his mother and the narrative regarding grief was a powerful variable in reinforcing his debilitating anxiety.

The most freeing words my Therapist ever said to me were *“You know that you could marry the perfect man, have perfect children and a perfect house, job and life AND your mother Still wouldn’t be happy with you right?”* My stunned and timid yes helped me and all of my siblings to heal immensely. ❤️ You can’t live for them, since it will Never be enough. You have to break the cycle and live for you. 🫂

Just found out from this video that this movie wasn’t received well. That really disappoints me, this movie is a ride! And speaks volumes on anxiety and paranoia. The cinematography, the score, the sets, imagery, the metaphors, even colors. The way they all come together makes something beautifully unique, truly have never seen anything like this film. My jaw was dropped for easily 80% of the movie

Thank you for recapping this, I don’t think I could watch this due to my own anxiety - I am also afraid! So I thank you ❤

Heck yeah an upload close from the last. I’m so happy. Good job man

yes please do a follow up vid! loved the movie but was def a little confused so this video helped me understand it way more!!

I think everyone is so weird because it’s first being filtered through Beau’s anxiety and then he might also be tripping on the new medication

I didn't watch the movie because it's 3 hours but I LOVE the 50 minute summary. There's a lot to this film and I appreciate all of the symbolism.

Thank you for your service! Literally cannot imagine how much time and research went into this video ❤

First of all, your stuff is always awesome. You clarify things really well. 110% even if it is just your personal interpretations of things at points, that has awesome value. Please absolutely do a follow up video for this one! At 3 hours it is understandable that there was already so much to cover. You did a great job giving a longer video than some of your other Endings Explained and I wouldn't mind a Part 2 in the slightest, when you find the energy to tackle it again. Thanks for everything! Edit: My own take on the movie...it does feel a lot like the overwhelming difficulty people in power and wealth can have. Sorta like the whole Brittany Spears struggle and how hard it was for her to get both legal and actual grips on her life. I think Beau is literally struggling in a legal battle, with the desire to break free from his moms grips. But she has had such control over how he made his money, how he was portrayed to the world as a pharmaceutical celebrity. I think that rebellious part of Beau finally made a bid to break free from his mom legally, and the mega powerful Mom responded to the betrayal by literally using everything in her power and authority to "incriminate" him. I think when he was told to stop incriminating himself someone who had known him for so long and seen his struggle was trying to reveal the behind the scenes plays being done to frame him as completely incapable. The mom can pull serious strings as the people she has helped all have deep trauma that required her pharmaceuticals to overcome, thus even the best intentioned people can be made to come undone and twisted into an enemy. The powerless feeling of someone who has been made out to be crazy because they struggle with legitimate mental illness....to prove to the world you have a grip on reality, to have that weakness exploited...god so much powerful stuff.

Honestly, I see that part where the water represents ejaculation to mean that he DID die from ejaculating. Since he most likely tested her pharmaceuticals, he probably got to the point where dying that way became a possibility. The end part is basically what ran through his mind as he passed. Your life flashing before your eyes type of thing. He saw it as a trial most likely because of how Christianity says god judges you at the end. Not to say it’s about religion. But I know my family used that to guilt you. “If something were to happen right now and god made you look at your sins, what would he see??” And the play does mention sins. It’s possible that she used religion to control him. Again, that’s not the focus of the movie when looking at it this way. But the various tools parents use to emotionally abuse children are being expressed. God I need sleep lol

when she died on Beau, that shit was the scariest shit I had seen in a long.

Great video!! Love tha channel!! Thanks for all your hard work and great content!!

Really glad you reviewed this one. Looking forward to watching it

😮 I would love to see a part 2 going into this movie, what a trip!

I am so happy you're covering this! Also perfect/odd timing, I literally just finished watching this about a half hour ago😂

Just finished watching this masterpiece, and went straight to your channel 😅 beautiful work to the both of you 🎉

Don’t forget when Grace said to not say anything incriminating on the lil tissue, because she knew about the big trial at the end lol

I still have questions. Did Beau actually die? If so, how? Did he actually end up having sex? If so how did Elaine die? What the note on the napkin mean? Was that man in the woods actually his father? Where had his father been all this time if he wasn’t dead?

You need to just watch the movie and you don't think too much about it. I completely adore it. I noticed though Elaine dies quiet differently in the directors cut. With a view of Beu's distended nuts.

Seems like a perfect representation of what long-term mind games, damage and anxiety someone can suffer from having a narcissist parent.

I took an afternoon to watch this movie all the way through and when I tell you I was SO ANXIOUS!!

I literally watched this last night and felt a bit sad knowing you hadn’t covered this one yet. Then today happened and you blessed us with this!

I kinda checked out eventually when I was watching it. It needs to be a tighter, shorter film, but it gets really carried away to the point of too many scenes IMHO.

I have a lot of respect to Ali Astor, he made the movie he wanted and told the story that he felt was necessary to say, loved this film

Perfect timing i love your videos please don't quit RU-vid

Is it bad that I perfectly understood this entire movie?

This movie kinda hits home weirdly enough

I knew this one was gonna take you a while!

Thank you for another great video ❤

I worry about that Ari Aster...bless his heart 🤪 Awesome video!

This movie is basically what happens when you are born to a mother who has dominated most of the country through the selling of addictive drugs and now has massive influence farther than the reaches of any massive goliath today like Amazon or Google. The mother then uses that influence to influence everyone against you to torture you for having emotions an impairments brought upon by a drugged up life you probably had no choice in partaking in since you were a kid, and those common traits produced by a helicopter parent in their kids: fear, anxiety, introversion, etc.

This is the 3rd or 4th explanation video for this movie I’ve watched and I find it interesting that each person has their own interpretations for the events of the film. The major beats are still there, but the “why” behind them is variable. For example, this is the only video to point out the whole “die face down in water” theme. I think I speak for most people when I say this isn’t my favorite Ari Aster movie. But do I hate it? No.

Best line in any review when describing a scene, " Mona is baffled, a long with me "

This movie seriously feels like a bad trip

Pls do a video on Exists. The Bigfoot found footage film from the 2014. Made by the creators of the Blair witch project

OMG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR ALMOST A YEAR WOOOO 🎉

a 50min video! im in for a treat! just watched this movie a few weeks ago

Also tying into the water theme in this movie, Mona Wasserman (I think) translates into the surname meaning "water man" in German

Remember kids, never take drugs if you don't know what they are. My most horrid experiences are with that kinda stuff happening

The moment beau finnishes inside elaine was so funny

This movie made me so confused I had no idea if it was villainizing Anixety disorders or showing how it all tells to Beau. This definitely helped.

I love this movie. It’s pedal to the metal the entire time.

I remember watching this in the theaters and most of the theater left before the 2 hour mark.

I watch all your videos multiple times because i fall asleep to them gaining bit by bit night by night.

Omg I watched this on the phone and was SO confused. Thank God you covered it lol. So stressful.

Finally! I was waiting for you to cover this. Ari Aster never fails to make his viewers traumatized with his films. Absolutely terrific!

holy shit never been this early to a foundflix video

Hey! I have been a big fan of your channel, and I actually watch you and have you playing as I fall asleep. I never leave comments or requests much because you do end up uploading an explained video. I however watched a movie tonight that I actually got scared of quite frankly which has not happened in a long time. My boyfriend and I would like if possible if you could explain the movie "Caveat". It was very suspenseful, and I know you could dive into it a little deeper and explain the movie and meaning behind it all. Thank you, and much love to your channel!!

hell yea i want more, love this movie--- even tho its hard to believe 50% of it is real (and not just a product of beau's guilt) especially the giant phallus monster. Loved it.
