MaXXXine

“Director Ti West makes working in film criticism a joy. MaXXXine, the third in a provocative series that began with X (2022) followed by Pearl (2022), has so many layers of good, it’s hard to know where to focus the praise.”
Original Cin
“The dazzling finale feels like a hyperviolent '80s period piece tailor-made For the Girls. It delivers some of the series’ most extreme kills as well as its best uses of glittery costumes, bloody testicles, and feminist subversion for a whirlwind joy ride that doubles as a societal lambasting.”
IndieWire
“Darker, moodier and altogether nastier than its predecessors — “X” (2022) and, later that same year, “Pearl” — this hyperconfident feature is also funny, occasionally wistful and deeply empathetic toward its damaged, driven heroine.”
