Beau Is Afraid is due out on the big screen on April 21st, 2023, so we’re expecting it to arrive digitally with early access first. In the UK, this should be between 30 and 45 days after the cinema release, so you’re probably looking at late May at the very earliest, but more likely June 2023.Raup, Jordan (December 13, 2022).

RELATED: Beau hitchhikes the rest of the way to his mother's estate, only to find that he has just missed her funeral. Beau is awakened from a nap when a woman arrives late for the service, and realizes it is Elaine. They reconnect before having sex. Beau is terrified that he is going to die upon climaxing but is relieved when he survives. Elaine, however, dies mid-orgasm, her body frozen stiff. Mona then appears from the shadows and reveals that she has been alive and spying on him all along his journey. She guilt-trips Beau for supposedly not loving her enough and he demands to know the truth about his father. Mona takes him to the attic, where Beau learns that he not only has a twin brother, but that his father is actually a giant penis-shaped monster. At that moment, Jeeves breaks into the house and is killed by the monster. After further degrading from his mother, an enraged Beau briefly attempts to strangle her before she collapses.

He then has a series of mind-bending adventures in his bid to get home to his mum with a number of scenes hinting at the dark town of the horror comedy. Jaquin Phoenix does a lot of running in the role, mostly to try to escape the world around him, which appears to be one of the themes. RELATED: Gleiberman, Owen (April 11, 2023).

In terms of once again exploring emotional manipulation, guilt, and familial secrets, Aster comments, “I saw this as an unofficial third entry into a trilogy. It’s responding to something I was playing with in the first two films, but blowing it up, and almost functioning as a parody.” Like what? “Themes and ideas. Parent-child stuff. A lot of things I think were maybe…” He pauses for 14 seconds. “I don’t know. This one has more of an impish spirit, and…” He pauses for 19 seconds. “I don’t know.
