From the mind of Ari Aster, the visionary director behind Hereditary and Midsommar, comes a sprawling and surreal epic of anxiety. Joaquin Phoenix stars as Beau, a man paralyzed by a lifetime of fears, who embarks on an odyssey to visit his overbearing mother. His simple journey spirals into a nightmarish, darkly comic labyrinth of urban chaos, bizarre communities, and haunting memories, where every stranger, from a menacing neighbor played by Nathan Lane to a mysterious woman portrayed by Parker Posey, seems to reflect his deepest terrors. As Beau navigates this increasingly hostile and absurd world, the line between reality and his own profound neuroses blurs beyond recognition. This genre-defying descent into one man's psyche masterfully blends horror, tragicomedy, and drama into a uniquely unsettling experience about guilt, family, and the monsters we create for ourselves.
