Trapped on her family's isolated farm, Pearl (Mia Goth) 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 origin story of X's iconic villain.
Ti West’s latest feature is clever, limber, gruesome and brutally well acted, with Mia Goth’s star turn establishing her as one of Hollywood’s most exciting rising talents. Praised by none other than Martin Scorsese, who called it “mesmerising,” Pearl stands as one of the most acclaimed films of the year.
