Pearl on Netflix

Has anyone else watched this? Watched it tonight and thought it was great! The balance between comedy and gore was fab and the main actress reminded me of Shelly Duvall.

My dd got me watching it with her then got bored and turned it off half way through. It was certainly interesting!

I love it. Saw it when it was released and watched it again when it was on Sky.
It's part of a trilogy. Pearl is the best of them in my opinion but they are all different.

Supersimkin7 · 21/01/2025 23:46

The latest one MAXxxine is supposed to be excellent too. Ti West is very, very clever.

HorrorFan81 · 21/01/2025 23:46

I really enjoyed all 3 in the trilogy but Pearl was my favourite. Absolutely amazing film

MissBehave23 · 22/01/2025 09:17

Oh I didn't realise it was party of a trilogy. Is it the same character in all of them?
I just loved how it was done, it felt a bit Tarantino in some ways. The end credits were haunting!

Pearl is the second film in the series but prequel to X.

Maxxxine is the last film.

Yes it's Mia Goth in all three films.

It isn't. It is by far the weakest of the trilogy. Pearl is the best, I love Mia Goth.

Mia Goth plays two characters, Maxine and Pearl. In X, the first one, she plays Pearl as an old lady.

@LinnettdeBelleforte 100% agree that Pearl is the best and Maxxxxine is by far the weakest. I did still enjoy it though. DH's favourite is X.

NewMe16012025 · 24/01/2025 09:20

Are all three films on Netflix at the moment?

lopyrs · 24/01/2025 09:21

I enjoyed Pearl, loved the vibe, couldn't find the others on streaming when I looked a few months ago.

NewMe16012025 · 24/01/2025 09:41

I've just IMDB'd it and it looks like something I'd enjoy. I liked Mia Goth in Emma.

purplespink · 24/01/2025 09:44

@NewMe16012025 it's part of a trilogy. X came out first, followed by Pearl and then Maxxxine. If you wanted to watch it in chronological order, it's Pearl, X and then Maxxxine. They're all really good Smile

These are great films. Mia Goth is such a brilliant actress. There’s such an unsettling quality about her.

No but you can rent the others on Prime or YouTube etc

Coldanddamp · 24/01/2025 10:28

I watched it, thought it was a but weak but really enjoyed the old fashioned technicolor look & feel.

NewDogOwner · 24/01/2025 11:06

It's great. Maxxxine is disappointing but worth a watch. X is great. I thought it would be terrible and trashy but it's very good.

She's absolutely amazing isn't she

NewMe16012025 · 28/01/2025 11:08

I watched it last night and thought is was really good. I'm going to watch the other two.

dontforgetme · 28/01/2025 11:33

Mia Goth is amazing. I loved the first two and am really looking forward to watching the final instalment.

I find her completely captivating. She was fantastic in Marrowbone too, as was George Mackay.

I agree about Mia Goth. She is such a good actress. I've only ever seen her in Emma but I'll take a look at Marrowbone too.

MissBehave23 · 28/01/2025 14:56

Caught up on all of them now. As soon as I put X on I realised I'd watched it ages ago but never realised it was part of a trilogy. Also didn't clock for ages that Peal was the old lady, duh.

It's a bit confusing how Mia Goth is in them all but plays two different characters. I wasn't that keen on Maxxine, it was watchable but a bit of a weak storyline.

Still think Pearl is the best by a mile. The colours and retro vibe have a Tarantino, arty feel about them whereas X (although very good) could be any old slasher/porno movie.

Mia Goth is fab, will look out for her in other things now.

I have watched X now. I enjoyed it. I want to watch Maxxxine but not excited as I know it won't be as good.

I genuinely wouldn't bother with it. It is far, far less good than the other two. I was really disappointed by it.
