Beau is Afraid is absolutely mental. I had no idea what to expect when we went to see it, and I’m so thankful the cinema was empty so we could audibly talk about wtf was going on throughout. It’s definitely a movie I want people to watch but with the caveat that I’m not recommending it.

I absolutely loved Beau is Afraid, but yeah that last act was a trip. It reminded me of "Men". The ending of that is just pure WTF.

The penis monster haunts my dreams! The whole movie was a trip and I absolutely loved the insanity of the first act, but the last 30 odd minutes were just mental

Just watched Men last night, I guess this other one is going on the list now!

Ooh, what did you think of Men? Also, Beau is a way different movie, but I thought the endings had similar vibes with a pure WTF is going on feel.

I really enjoyed the first half but have to admit it lost me a bit by the end, it just sort of kept going for a bit too long for me I think. Husband, meanwhile, was very taken with it and has been recommending it to anyone who will listen!

Same, I love really unnerving movies in the first 2/3 of men did that well but then it just went way over the top.
