I need to be careful not to dehumanize Goth as I apparently did with Sweeney.... But bring it on. Loved 'X' & 'Pearl' 
‘MaXXXine’ Starring Mia Goth Is Rated “R” for “Strong Violence, Gore, Sexual Content, Graphic Nudity”
Saw this over the weekend after just catching up on the X trilogy. Mia Goth is the star again here... her performance was yet again captivating. Perhaps not quite on Pearl levels, of downright Oscar worthy, but that's a high bar. The movie itself is easily the most rewatchable for me, as I'm a fan of the 80s and this pays homage to that era very well and leans into it with a great soundtrack and plenty of nostalgia (home-video store included & VHS included).
I'm disappointed to see it has already been moved to a singluar late night showing a day in all my local ODEONs however. Catch it whilst you still can I guess. Recommended & a great end to a rather eclectic-in-style trilogy.

Hi I'm Noodles' sexy gf (aka your mum) and his opinion on this film is 100% correctsomeone else with good taste want to say something about maxxxine
The most anticipated movie of the year, had therefore more potential to disappoint, than one I didn't expect much of anything of, and I'm glad it turned out as good, as I wished!
Everyone is excellent, especially Kevin Bacon, and I appreciated 'the return' of 'gritty Hollywood' advice giving characters, that I am used to from the 90's films like The Player and Swimming with Sharks - because 'modern' one has become too squeaky clean, or rather posing as one, afraid of cancel mob.
A couple of squirmy moments that I'd have lived without, one making me feel physical pain spawned by my brain signals from the traumatic shock of watching them. Also maybe not enough nudity for this kind of theme, but a great stylization of 80's, with the lighting, softness in the background, so you almost feel like you're watching a VHS, a high resolution one somehow... or a movie from those times, like Angel - it's an achievement!

What twist, didn't even notice, and it wasn't weak at all, if I understand what is meant, it was built up towards throughout, with all the 'rioters', TV news bits, in-movie title "The Puritan", and even by the reveal at the end of X.
Watched this last night and I was really enjoying it until it got weird and confusing. Had just got back from a 2 day binge on a stag do so probably not the best time to watch it plus I was getting so tired toward the end but that final act was just so weird it confused me
