, the biggest compliment from people who see"Beau" is that they feel inspired to text their parents afterward out of pure panic.
"Beau" follows a timid middle-aged man who suffers from extreme anxiety and rarely leaves his dilapidated, crime-riddled apartment building. But when he learns his mom was involved in a tragic chandelier accident, Beau warily ventures out to go see her. On his odyssey, he encounters bizarre obstacles such as a hippie theater troupe, a sinister suburban family, and at one point, a giant penis monster.
"This character came from my guts," Aster says."Really, I was just trying to make myself laugh. I wanted to make something funny and sad." "My nephew tried to get me to watch 'Hereditary' and I thought it was too scary," Phoenix, 48, says. He also caught a few minutes of"Midsommar.""I was shocked by what I was seeing.
