HBO Max Users Have A Week Left To Watch One Of The Most Underrated Movies Of 2023

by

2023 was a great year for movies, thanks to big hits like the ‘Barbenheimer’ trend and acclaimed films such as Poor Things, The Holdovers, and Anatomy of a Fall. However, some movies didn’t get the attention they deserved, either because they weren’t successful in theaters, critics didn’t like them, or they just didn’t meet audience expectations. One particularly controversial film that didn’t do well financially will soon be removed from HBO Max.

Ari Aster’s film Beau Is Afraid, a strange, funny, and sad movie from A24, is leaving HBO Max soon. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, the film follows a worried man as he travels home to see his mother, played by Patti LuPone, and faces his biggest anxieties. Despite being a critically acclaimed film, it didn’t perform well at the box office, and will no longer be available to stream after December 13th, so now’s the time to check it out if you haven’t already.

Beau Is Afraid Is a Surreal Masterpiece

If you want a simple, easy-to-watch movie, Beau Is Afraid might not be for you. This film demands your full attention to understand its complex, dreamlike story, which explores themes of guilt, loss, and family trauma – and even then, it’s likely to be confusing. However, if you’re open to a bold and unusual experience, Beau Is Afraid is a deeply emotional and captivating film.

Beau is a deeply strange and unsettling film that takes viewers on a three-part trip into the main character’s mind. It mixes reality and fantasy in a visually stunning, yet often disturbing, way as Beau confronts his difficult relationship with his mother. The movie is likely to stay with you long after the credits roll, and its unconventional style and complex story divided audiences. Director Ari Aster has created a truly imaginative and symbolic work, and Joaquin Phoenix and Patti LuPone both give performances that are among the best of their careers.

If you’ve seen Beau Is Afraid, it’s worth watching again before it’s no longer available on HBO Max. The film is rich with detail, and you’ll likely discover new meanings and symbolism each time you watch it, making repeat viewings incredibly satisfying.

Where to Stream Beau Is Afraid After It Leaves HBO Max?

If you have HBO Max, be sure to watch Beau Is Afraid before December 13th. After that date, it won’t be available on any major streaming services – you’ll only be able to rent or buy it online. It doesn’t look like Beau Is Afraid will be added to other streaming platforms in December, and while it might return to streaming sometime in January, that’s not confirmed yet.
