Pearl (2022)

Technically, Pearl is the second installment in Ti West’s X trilogy, but its events are at the begin of the timeline’s chronological order. It follows Mia Goth as Pearl, a farm girl who has to live with her strict German parents while her husband is away fighting in World War I.

But something isn’t right about Pearl, and everyone seems to understand why except for her. When her only dream of becoming a dancer is shattered, Pearl resorts to violent bouts of jealous rage aimed at anyone who has the misfortune of being in her path.

Come for Mia Goth’s incredible performance, stay for the Maggot-infested pig, the axe-wielding, and the alligator.
