Ari Aster has expertly produced and directed some of the most viscerally provocative A24 Studio films, including Hereditary and Midsommar. These are two of the most disturbing films of the 21st century and stand on their merit. But perhaps his most "WTF?" movie is also his most recent A24 entry called Beau Is Afraid. Joaquin Phoenix stars as the emotionally troubled, middle-aged Beau Wasserman, a man who is so psychologically damaged that he has a difficult time just living from day to day. And like many of the best characters in cinema, the troubled relationship with his mother is at the root of his issues. Beau is like Norman Bates without the evil streak. The thought of even holding a butcher knife would likely send him into the throes of a panic attack.
