MaXXXine

I enjoyed it a lot it’s definitely my favorite out of the series.

Reminds me of every gf I've had lately lol. That being said, I do like it as an unexpected trilogy. A little silly towards then end of this one, but filmmaking aspect is still excellent throughout.

The production, costumes, and actors were all good. The problem is this movie is boring, nothing really happens... I saw this movie on the big screen and I was honestly angry I paid to see it..

Entertainment that closes the so-called "X" trilogy by director Ti West, which begins with a beautiful (and praised) "foot in the door" in theaters, but ends up "slipping" in the sequence and ends up "falling into the sewer hole" in his third film, and not even Maxxxine's exuberant beauty saves him from denial in the eyes of Hollywood...

I really like what West delivers here for the eyes and ears. "Maxxxine" feels as if De Palma and Argento had made a film together in the late 80s. And Lynch even made a brief appearance. The rather fragmented plot fits in with this, as it's more about atmosphere and individual memorable moments. The film was still a bit too tame and too clean for me. And somehow the individual plot threads didn't quite mesh. The cops seemed almost like alien elements from another film (e.g., "Copycat"). It's worth noting, however, that "Maxxxine" is much more than mere references to genre classics. In conclusion, "Maxxxine" remains an exciting piece of genre film that invites rewatches and, considering the trilogy as a whole, has produced two of the most interesting female horror characters of recent times.

MaXXXine wraps up the "X" trilogy with style, blending dark comedy with twisted horror. Mia Goth is fantastic, though the storyline feels a little uneven in places. Still, it's visually impressive, edgy, and entertaining.

'MaXXXine' is a positive end (?) to this trilogy of Ti West-directed flicks. I'd rank it below the prior releases, but that's simply because I enjoyed those ones more. This one is absolutely a good movie, yet again Mia Goth and the visuals are my biggest elements to praise. Away from the splendid Goth, Kevin Bacon is the one I liked most from the rest; he plays a successfully sleazy dude. Away from them, I wanted to see more of Giancarlo Esposito, while Michelle Monaghan and Bobby Cannavale are solid; Elizabeth Debicki too (still can't unhear Diana, mind). The conclusion underwhelmed me, I won't lie. The reveal and just the way the plot goes in general just didn't really click with me. I wouldn't at all say it's explicitly a bad ending, it just didn't give me proper satisfaction. All in all, I did have a good time watching this and the series overall. One to recommend, for sure.

From Texas to Tinseltown. The third entry in the “X” trilogy is the first time the series starts to show symptoms of sequelitis. It nails the retro horror camp aspect that “X” perfected, but feels lacking in originality compared to the two previous, boundary-pushing films. Mia Goth stays slaying throughout this series; whether playing Maxine or Pearl she consistently delivers a distinct, unhinged performance as woman seeking vengeance on the systems keeping them from stardom. Despite being a solid 1980s period piece with an intriguing enough premise, its pacing inconsistencies and retreading of themes make it a steep step down from the previous two films.

Hollywood work, strong direction, engaging plot, thrilling horror, good performance of cast and overall pretty good movie.

I saw this on a plane. I was very excited for it to come out, then I heard some disappointing reviews and failed to see it in the theaters as planned. Instead, I read the Wiki summary and decided, based on that summary, to agree with assessments that it was underwhelming. No, I did not find this film to be scary. But -- and I am no expert, of course -- that's not what makes me love or hate a horror film. For instance, in Silence of the Lambs, it is more the fascinating dynamic between Agent Starling and Dr. Lecter that makes it a timeless classic than any of the horrific elements. This film said very clever things about fame, picking up from the previous installments in the series. There were very satisfying moments throughout. The performances, particularly by Mia Goth, were incredibly enjoyable. The film was visually and stylistically hypnotic. I realize this won't speak to everyone, but the LA-ness of the film was very enjoyable. Actually, this should speak to everyone, because it's a film and a trilogy about fame and its pursuit, and the arrival at the center of the pursuit -- and ultimately (not really a spoiler) at the center of that center -- is charged with poesy and thoughtfulness. I think what makes Mia Goth's acting so compelling is -- like Isabelle Huppert and other such actresses -- there is simultaneously a great awareness of every little flourish and a melting into the character that must be very difficult to achieve. I regret not having seen this on a big screen. And I hope that everyone involved in this will continue to make things worth watching. And I will be more mindful about not letting other people's expectations affect whether I give a film a chance.
