Mini Review #11: Beau is Afraid (Patreon Exclusive) (Patreon)

I'm not really sure exactly what happened, or how I am feeling, but I know that I liked this movie. I was left on a lingering shot full of confusion, doubt, disbelief, sadness, and anger. I didn't know what was right to feel or if all of them were right.

Guilt. Guilt is the word that comes to my mind after this movie. I felt like this movie was about guilt, especially surrounding Beau. I can't really place my hands on why yet as I just finished the film but guilt is the word that is flashing like a siren in my head.

Everything in the background felt like it belonged in the story and it was so satisfying when you caught something and then the movie brought it up later. Good stuff.

Basically when I ended this movie, Oliver was afraid.
