Pearl (2022) Horror Movie Review | SPOILER FREE 

Everyone keeps praising Pearl, i am so glad Mia Goth is getting the recognition she deserves cause she was so amazing in X

The final shot of Pearl smiling and crying while credits roll was fucking insane. I don’t even know how she did that

THE NINE MINUTE MONOLOGUE!!!?? Not even gonna lie I cried through it. Pearl’s emotions about wanting to be loved, really hit the nail on the head for how I feel sometimes. So powerful.

I generally like when villains in movies are humanized as long as doing so doesn’t compromise the villain’s status as a villain (ie; don’t try to justify their actions, just make them feel like a person instead of a caricature)

Mia’s monologue w Mitsy.. I honestly could’ve listened to her for an hour. And the credit screen. She’s so talented.

I can’t believe you didn’t mention that iconic FINAL SHOT for the end credit sequence. By far the most brilliant and disturbing final shot in a horror movie I ever seen. That scene alone is Oscar worthy from Mia Goth. Absolutely staggering.

Mia Goth is a wonderful actress, so glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves. Loved X, but have to say I loved Pearl more! Very excited for Maxxxine

barbarian and pearl coming out so close together is craaazyyy literally two of the best movies i have seen in a while

I love final girls (and final boys), but it's great we're getting more horror villains who are female! I really like your more natural look here.

Just like Toni Collette in Hereditary, Mia Goth deserved to be nominated for an Oscar. She was so good in both of these movies!😍

When you said that you didn’t even realize that the horror wasn’t really in pearl until your partner pointed it out I felt that so hard. I didn’t even realize because I was in love so much until my friend I went with pointed it out

jennifer's body, ginger snaps and x are my holy trinity of female joker-ish movies i can't wait to see this one and maxxxine!!!!!!!

Glad to see Ti West finally getting a bit more recognition. He was one of the directors who kicked off the horror revival in the early 2010's with The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers but for some reason people kind of forgot about him. He's a first rate director. He also films right here in Connecticut. I got to see the Yankee Peddler Inn up close.

Pearl topped X and Barbarian for me and this is coming from someone who loves your typical slasher films. I just love character driven films especially when taking placed in the early 1900s. Pearl is Mia Goth’s film and she deserves all the praises she’s getting. Pearl is in my top 5 favorite horror films of the year. I give it a 4.8/5

My boyfriend and I went to see this last night, and when Pearl had her monologue we looked at one another like, "holy.... shit....." It's a 10/10 for both of us. So much fun to watch.

The monologue at the end was epic. It was also kind of hilarious considering the context. The scene that followed was probably the scariest part of the movie. I think villain origin stories don't work if they only kill off unlikable characters.

This is the review I was waiting for!! Pearl was sososo good. I love how Ti West can transport his viewers to different time periods. He did that so well in House of the Devil and Pearl.

That monologue was SOOOO long but I was in love with every second of it. The acting and the context cannot be replicated!

X was your birthday gift, PEARL is my birthday gift

the ending credits… so iconic

i’m really a fan of the style you’ve cultivated with these videos! I like the natural conversational feel it has! I don’t like when it feels so scripted to the point of it sounding like a professionally written review on imdb or something

Mia goth is an absolutely enchanting actress and I can’t wait to see more from her.

I haven’t seen Mia Goth in anything but A Cure for Wellness (HIGHLY underrated btw) and Nymphomaniac. She legit seems kinda crazy to me so she seemingly can do these roles well 🤪

Cannot wait to see Pearl, it’s easily my most anticipated film of the year. Gutted the international rollout is so slow, not even dated yet!

i really appreciated how bright and colorful this movie was. shows that you don't always need to go darker, and grayer to make a great horror movie.

It seems like A24 is growing on you this year! You’ve loved like every single one that came out (except men) and that’s definitely a higher rate than in the past. But between X, EEAAO, and Pearl, A24 is dominating this year

We understand why Pearl detests blondes! If you don’t remember why(think back to her audition in the movie and what the male judge said, then think of the scene in X between her and Brittany Snow at the lake plus her sister-in-law).

I absolutely loved this movie now I don’t think it was as good as X for me personally cause it had more horror and gore but that’s really the only nitpick for Pearl. Mia Goff truly turned it out like I thought she was good in X but she was amazing in Pearl that 5 min monologue was fantastic it felt like that Toni C scene from that Hereditary dinner scene rant . The fact we got two amazing horror prequels with orphan first kill and Pearl. I’m hoping TI west can wrap up this trilogy nicely with Maxxxine. This felt like if wizard of oz went into the horror genre cause it was a period piece fs.

omg yes it’s here!! watched this on friday and I was waiting for your review!! absolutely loved it and mia goth deserves award recognition for her performance. the six minute monologue and the end credits were breathtaking and tragic.

seeing your videos on my recommended page at the end of the day is like a reward hehe

Pearl was so AMAZING!!! I loved every single second of it

I also can’t believe I saw barbarian and pearl in the same week! I loved both of them!!

It’s insane how Pearl has skyrocketed to my number one spot in regards to favorite movies. Hereditary has officially been dethroned for me. Maxine and Pearl are two of the most captivating and unique horror characters I’ve seen in so long, they’ve become my favorite final girl and villain respectively. Needless to say, I loved Pearl more than X, even though I still really really loved X. Barbarian I’m still unsure on my feelings for it, I need to rewatch it. Gonna rewatch Pearl first though since my theater is bound to lose it first. Also needless to say, I can’t fucking wait for MaXXXine

Yessssssssssss we are on the same page again! I *loved* Pearl! Mia Goth was amazing, and the supporting cast was also superb in how they played off her. I’m so hyped for Maxxxine. I think the through line of p*rnos through time is so interesting too. Ti West is showing his range with these movies with such exquisite attention to detail across different eras of filmmaking.

She nailed Mia Goth's look perfectly

I really like when your reviews have spoilers because I usually view all information about a movie as a spoiler aside from the title and poster haha. So I like getting the full download after I watch it. Bringing back the spoiler section would be fun!

I’m so glad this just came out! I just got out of the movie theatre and this is such a gift!

I’ve been waiting for this review! I watched it on Friday and I was OBSESSED. Mia Goth’s performance was incredible and her monologue? Spectacular… I even related to it which I typically don’t do with villains. I think Ti West and Mia Goth are my new horror faves.

omg i love the eyebrow look !!

(first of all loved pearl. it was one of the best movies i've ever seen) but ALSO the light eyebrows is so beautiful on you. it is such a stunning look, as a natural brunette with extremely dark, thick eyebrows i am so jealous.

You’re naturally bomb!! Haha I love ur neon CSI?? Looking top very cool fit 😊

I love the eyebrow representation too haha. I have light eyebrows too and I hate having to fill them in, but social pressures make me feel like I have to lol. Love your review!

Sarah, thank you so much for your review of Pearl, great job.

Love your natural eyebrows! It's a soft look ☺️

I’m going to Pearl on Tuesday. I think I might go see Barbarian again (for a third time) after Pearl. I should rewatch X before as well. Gosh it’s a good time to be a horror fan!

My grandma was named Pearl so I have to watch this. Seriously I need to catch up on my horror! I've missed so many good ones this year!

Perfect timing to post this!! I just got back from the cinema 💞

I'm seeing this later today with my friend, I'm so excited!

Loved the review AND omg u look amazing with light eyebrows are u kidding me😭😭🫶🏻

It makes me hyped for this and Barbarian! 🎉 btw, we will have to hear your thoughts about Terrifer 2 when it comes out!

I LOVEDDD Pearl i really wish this review had spoilers bc I wanted to hear your opinion on a few things

I feel like the brown hair with the light eyebrows and the red tips is a full look and truly iconic af!

Well said review. Honestly I completely agree! I really hope Mia Goth gets recognized for this performance, because it deserves awards! That very end smile….just wow!!! Chills!!!

i went to the TIFF premier for Pearl and it was so great. you can tell mia had a lot to do with building the character and a gave a ton of input on the film, which i added so much to the movie. the maxxxine teaser at the end was a huge surprise for the audience and from what tiwest hinted at it sounds so good!

your outfit! is pure fire. Mia Goth is next level amazing in this though. One of the best performances I've ever seen. Pearl is absolutely my favorite of the year, so good it elevates X. And the manager gave me the poster before I left which I have on my wall. Can't wait for Maxxxine. But mostly can't wait to rewatch this one.

I really enjoyed Pearl! The way it was filmed felt like a twisted Wizard of Oz. Interested to see what they’ll do with Maxxxine

I can’t wait to watch this!! Doesn’t make sense that they didn’t bring pearl out in the UK but they had X in the cinemas

Doctor: You only have 16:15 minutes to live. Me: Say no more.

Mia Goth was unbelievably fantastic in this movie like Oscar worthy. Ive fell in love with as an actress since Suspirira and she literally never bad in anything she in but this is her best work by far

You're glowing ! ✨️

honestly you look so good in the blond brows, love the makeup. I Just found out Mia Goth is half brazillian (im from Brazil, so this peaked my interest), curious about this movie.

I love the natural eyebrows!!

Omg the beginning I also have dark hair and light ass brows 😭😭 but I absolutely lovedddd Pearl! It was so good I can’t wait to rewatch it and for the third one

I am so excited for Pearl!!! I'm thinking about seeing it today

the monologue and the scene RIGHT AFTER the monologue omg 10/10

u look great and i love ur videos, i am a massive fan of X and am soooo excited for pearl and the third one also! thanks for ur content even when ur pregnant ur my favorite content creator wishing u the best and lets hope taylor wins bb24!!

I'm glad to know it can be a stand alone watch since I wasn't really interested in watching X due to sxl aspect of it. I loved Barbarian too! Literally started watching your review and when you said to see it first I paused and went to the theater 😆

Hands down my favorite movie of the year! Pearl as a character is just amazing and she is my joker. Mia goth is now becoming one of my favorites actors every. Im really curious as to what the horror elements will be in maXXXine tho

I've been waiting on this review eagerly

Mia Goth is pretty to me 😍 her face is pretty to me in this!

Your shirt!!! It’s poppin!

When i was at the theater for Barbarian, the trailer for Pearl played saying “Coming Soon…” but it was… literally showing in the room next to us? Hahaha

I liked X, but I was NOT expecting to be obsessed with this movie

You’re so beautiful Sarah & absolutely killing this lewk w ur fair brows!!! 👻😘

Finally got to see this on Friday and I loved it!!! Sucks we had to wait so long for a release here but it was definitely worth the wait. I do feel it was a little too light on the horror but honestly the story was so great and Mia Goth had me captivated so I didn't really mind at all! Definitely going again when it officially drops!

I think you look beautiful with your natural eyebrows! As a fellow fair-faced blonde, I feel like I look so weird darkening in my eyebrows…Its just not me looking back at myself when I try to color up my brows 🤷‍♀️. So perhaps i’m biased BUT I think you look lovely keeping it light!

i been waiting for this review

Your natural hair color is so beautiful✨

Truly, pearl was SO amazing to me!!! I wouldn’t change a thing. I hope to one day hear what scene you would’ve changed. I’m so curious lol.

I’m so shocked you’re not a natural redhead! Your skin tone is perfect for it

Mia deserves all this hype! I love her since i first saw her in like 2012 🥰 i even bleached my eyebrows when i saw her cause she is so beautiful! This is a look for you Sarah 😍 embrace the no-eyebrow

greetings from czech republic 👋🏼, I am fond of your videos about horrors, keep going ❤

The planets are in retrograde, and great horror films are coming out. What a time to be alive.

I would love to hear more of your opinions on Baby Jane!

I want to believe the trailer was marketed in the style of the film and how trailers would have been received with audiences of the time. there was this one trailer seen that made the whole experience of watching the film worth every second. After seeing that trailer scene in the film I felt totally engrossed; It literally felt good. It genuinely made me feel like I was in a real theater again

Honestly dying to see both Barbarian AND Pearl. The wife and I can't decide which we wanna see tomorrow. But also stoked for Maxxxine whenever that comes out too. Still need to find a streaming service that has Bodies Bodies Bodies.

Your light eyebrows actually look very nice on you!!

Fellow brown hair but blonde eyelashes, eyebrows, and mustache haver here! I fill mine in with a powder usually but maybe I’ll take a page from you and Mia and start going natch again like I did when I was younger!

So I actually watched Pearl first this weekend, and X today. It was a weird situation because I saw Pearl off of a recommendation which I always go in blind for. I absolutely gushed over Pearl, it was absolutely fantastic. I honestly feel like the order I had made the whole experience amazing. The repression of Pearl taking everything so slowly as you follow her getting closer and closer to her crescendo, with that ending being absolutely beautiful. That repression pays off with the absolute indulgence of X.

OHMYGOD!!!! I am sooo glad you loved Pearl. I just watched it today and really really liked it. I'm not sure yet if I like it more than X since I give them both a 4/5. I think I'll have to rewatch X to make my final decision. But oh my gosh Mia Goth is fucking phenomenal. I had the theatre all to myself and I kid you not she was freaking me out so much I was scared to look around the empty theatre for fear of her appearing ready to kill me hahah. Mia was genuinely so terrifying in this in my opinion. Pearl as a character is so human and quite relatable like you said, but I also found her to be so scary in some scenes. Which is a good thing. I think for me personally I wanted a bit more gore and horror elements, but that is just my taste and it might honestly be because X was so gory, that I went in expecting the same. Maybe when I rewatch Pearl, knowing what it is and not comparing it, I won't mind it after all. Who knows. Overall though, I loved it. So unsettling but also so sad. THAT END CREDIT SCENE!!!!!

I feel ya. I have brown hair and black eyebrows and lashes. Not matching either, lol. Thanks for the review!

Loving how both the movies you’ve described as the best movies of the year aren’t having a theatrical release in the uk 😭😭😭 or at least I think they aren’t, there’s literally no theatre release date for either of them here

I thought you looked different in the thumbnail. X was pretty good, looking forward to Pearl. House of the Devil is an all time fav horror of mine, glad Ty West is blowing up.

Mia Goth’s performance in this movie was so amazing. I’m not sure I’ve ever been so moved by the acting in a horror movie since seeing this. Literally this movie was amazing. I didn’t see the horror until the end and I realized just how sinister this movie really was. I’m very excited for Maxxxine though. Now I want to go back and watch X

Only seen this film once but I remember being shocked. Can’t wait to rewatch on Blu-ray next month.

I literally just finished watched X 20 mins ago and came onto RU-vid and saw this! I’m definitely excited to see this movie, I think Mia Goth is so talented

LOVED PEARL!!! Oscar for Mia Goth! At least in our dreams. SO GLAD YOU SAW IT AND LOVED IT!!!

"Pearl" is just outstanding. Even if you're not a horror geek it's just brilliant. I loved "X" but I think "Pearl" is quite a bit better. Some studio really needs to give Ti West a good story and buckets of money and let him run with it. Mia Goth, holy crap she just owns this role. It's truly an Oscar worthy performance but of course that won't happen. I don't think she exactly nailed her accent but not so much it was a problem.

Omg yassss stunning queen. Giving Pearl vibes for sure. This movie was awesome and Mia Goth was giving everything. Her monologue was Academy Award winning all on its own. It’s right there with X as my favorite of the whole year. I mean Barbarian is number 1, X is number 2, Pearl is number 3, Scream 2022 is number 4, and number 5 is Bodies Bodies Bodies

Just watched X last night and I cannot wait to see pearl!
