MaXXXine

For all the clutter, there’s nothing as fun as X’s mechanical alligator jump scares or Pearl’s scarecrow humping. And then there’s the problematic big reveal. We won’t spoil it: we’ll leave you to experience the jump-the-shark moment for yourself.

I like this series so much as a commentary on the artificiality of Hollywood... Terrific fun.

MaXXXine’s resolution is merely predictable—and disappointing given the larger intimations of some grand narrative design.

The plot moves from suspense to slash and shoot, and when the twist comes it’s a bit predictable.

I think my answer is [that] X and Pearl are B+ movies with B+ ideas… and MaXXXine is the first one that feels like it’s straining.

With a rollicking soundtrack full of ’80s faves like Frankie Goes to Hollywood and ZZ Top, bold, fluorescent sets and Hollywood locations and outsized performances, Maxxxine wraps up West’s trilogy in killer style.

“MaXXXine” can hardly be considered a horror film. It doesn't scare. It does not disturb. No one will have nightmares with this movie. [Full review in Spanish]

Maxxxine (2024) is a delight for movie buffs who recognize the pop culture references portrayed in the film. It is a clear allusion to the 1980s cinema..[Full review in Spanish]

Maxine Minx may be a movie star, but she deserves a better movie than MaXXXine to serve as her big break.

Taken together with writer-director Ti West’s two previous films — 'X' and 'Pearl' ... — 'MaXXXine' is the culmination of a blood-drenched pop-culture meditation on the complicated relationship between ambition and morality.
