I’m thrilled to see the perspective of someone who hasn’t seen X and can appreciate how brilliant this is on its own. (Yes there are a lot of inside jokes and nods to the first movie that make it better, but Mia’s performance was phenomenal!)
watching Mitsy run make me have ptsd from the Rickon Stark's run in GOT you scream to her to run and thrown away the shoes but she seems to not hear you lol.
The way you kept assuming there was a killer watching her had me cracking up lol I would suggest watching x but not sure if its one you’ll want to do a live reaction to lol
@@fictionaldarling gorier and spicier but I think if you cab handle American horror story then it’ll be fine. I personally liked pearl better than x but I think it wools be interesting seeing that second just to see where the story goes
Iam german and her german is not good, it's very weird sounding. I love the film but please Hollywood if you use other languages please use actors who can actually speak the language.
Not quite if you look deeper into her character. She was aware of her daughter's problems and kept her away from the world because of it. Note that this is also during a time where mental illness wasn't really a thing.
@@NoCluYTMental illness has always been a thing. It just wasn’t recognized back then. In 1918, you’d be sent to a psych ward and put in a strait jacket for a simple anxiety disorder; sometimes even tortured because they thought it’d cure you.
A24 did a REALLY good job this year. EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE got the most nominations this year (11 nominations). On top of that, other A24 movies like THE WHALE, AFTERSUN and more got acting nominations as well. THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN tied ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT with 9 nominations each. ALL QUIET is the German-language Best International Feature Film contender from Netflix.
“Rip as in rest in peace not rip it to shreds” too late, girl 😂 your moments of empathy for Pearl - especially during the audition, how she held on to any positive encouragement warmed my heart - even though she’s scary as ****! She’s one of those villains that has a lot of problems, moments of self-awareness, the performance is amazing so you can definitely feel for her but then whooops, she just did that-- 😳
All the times that she suggests Pearl is gonna get the killer, or waiting for the killer to pop out, has me like 👀... i hope this means you'll be watching X next
Рік тому+16
not ur Pearl reaction coming out at the same time as Oscar nominations and Mia Goth just got ROBBED 😫 they don't like horror i swear!
Attempt #8 for Jess to watch the Willow series *insert buzzword here* sorry, me too tired to add more descriptions Also thanks for reminding I need to catch up on horror flicks. To Mad God I go now
If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching the first Knives Out. It's amazing, and you don't need to worry about watching the 'sequel' first as each movie is self contained.
RIP Goose, I was not expecting this movie commentary. But now that I see is more of a slasher, I might see it (I don't do well with horror, slashers are an exceptions). I heard good things about this one and X and I see why.
my brain was in captain marvel mode & i just panicked for a hot second about Goose, before i remembered the goose in this movie 😂💀 but yeah!! i didn't think this one was particularly scary in the usual horror-y sense; i def recommend it!!
Honestly I think you made the right choice watching this one first, and I'd be super interested to see your perspective on X now. I didn't love either film, but I definitely appreciate the filmmaking and the level of nuance in the scripts. I think what spoiled it for me was the fact that I somehow got this idea in my head that Pearl would somehow be this kind of cypher that changes the meaning of X. Because X has this waking nightmare quality to it, reality feels elevated and numbed at the same time. There was weird shit that happened that I thought maybe would be elaborated on in unexpected ways. I probably just had too high hopes, and that's not the fault of either movie (although I still kinda want the third one to do that, ngl) But since you saw this one first, it makes your perspective on the next film very unique and interesting, so I'm game.
Mark my words, this has all the hallmarks of a future classic. Even though the film makers may not have intended so. I hope we're all around to see that in 20 years.
Ohh, this is one of my favourite horror movies for sure. I hope you come back to it once you've seen X, it works fine on its own but I think knowing what happens in X adds a lot of layers! (my best attempt not to spoil haha)
My emotions towards Pearl is weird. I don't think she should have killed people, but I also kind of... understood? I guess. She was not okay and needed help, but the people around her never tried. Her mom kinda pushed her into that state.
I watched this movie and like it, but then I watched X afterwards and I actually like X a lot more, I feel this one kinda feels like it has to explain a lot of what happens in X and that kinda undermines this one for me. Still I love Mia's acting and the atmosphere that this movie has. EDIT: that scarecrow looks like it's made with an actual human face
Mia goth gave the performance like Toni Collette in hereditary completely flawlessly stunning and GUT WRENCHING and terrifying now considered these two ladies are the two BIGGEST SNUBS IN OSCAR HISTORY and still talked til this day
Hey Jess, I was wondering if we could get an update on the MCU rewatch series? And how you would break up the 19 episode block of AoS season 2. Love your channel, I'm always here watching something. Keep up the great work.
hey, thanks for watching!! I’m honestly still trying to figure out the mcu rewatch series - my anxiety is currently really bad whenever I even think about doing a marvel movie rn, but I also really, really want to go through & have commentaries for all the AoS episodes, so I’ve just been dilly-dallying on a path forward :/ I’ve kinda just been hoping that if i give myself enough time, I won’t feel like throwing up whenever I think about sitting down to film civil war or endgame or something 😅 sorry this isn’t a super helpful answer!! in terms of that chunk of AoS episodes, I was thinking of splitting it into 2 vids, somewhere around episode 10/11. but totally depends on how long the episode footage would be! and the last 2 daredevil s1 vids are coming as soon as i finish editing them, too :)
Hey, Jess. Great video today. I have some video suggestions for you. I would love to see you watch the Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, and Puss in Boots movies on this channel. Keep up the great work 😁
Mia Goth was snubbed HAAAAARD of an Oscar nom not only for X but for this especially like its honestly disgusting but you know how Award ceremonies sometimes treat horror movies. BTW hope you react to X soon and I don't know if watching X after Pearl could make a difference on how you feel about both films (I watched X first before Pearl) but I get that it can probably seen as individual films but for me it's always X first then Pearl cuz seeing the things reference in X relate to Pearl will make more sense looking back. Edit: Yes there is a 3rd one coming this year called Maxxxine and Mia said it's the best one so far
This is not as gory as X so prepare yourself cause while I love this movie I prefer X more cause it’s a dirty slasher done with refinement and it has Jenna Ortega with all the others doing good as well.
@@Aussie27Legend other reactors show a lot of the movie so she can too. Obviously you can blur it so the gory kills can fs be blurred and the most traumatic scene of that movie *the old people scene* will definitely be blurred for obvious reasons.
The oscar nominations came out today and I was absolutely furious that Mia Goth didn’t get a nomination. She is PHENOMENAL in this movie.
given the whole history of "academia" being snobs about the horror genre... i'm disappointed but not surprised.
she's a winner in our hearts 😭😭
They just showed we can slip a white girl into the oscar's lead actress race last minute and we *didn't* use it on mia goth??
@@Aussie27Legend what?
Agreed 1000%
"she could kill the killer"😭😭
this film was a JOURNEY to say the least 😂😭
lol😂❤
"Girl you've gotta stop hiding them in your basement, like you're Edgar Allan Poe or something!"
she was just TOSSING them in there 💀😂
Mia Goth is THE revelation of the past year, I went from never hearing of her to mega fan after X and Pearl, the TALENT is profound.
Me: Pearl is so whimsical and innocent dancing with this scarecrow 😊
Pearl : 😏😏😏
Me: 😳
"she's gonna kill the killer" 😅
update: she did not 😂😭
This movie is a masterpiece.
“You put the fire out though” yeah with boiling water! 😬
The messed up origin story of an original movie villain.
Shaine White "Cruella"?
I’m thrilled to see the perspective of someone who hasn’t seen X and can appreciate how brilliant this is on its own. (Yes there are a lot of inside jokes and nods to the first movie that make it better, but Mia’s performance was phenomenal!)
I think you'll like 20th Century Women, another A24. Personally, I think it's one of their most underrated films, and the film is really good.
ohhh, thanks for rec! i've been trying to watch more a24, so i'll definitely check it out at some point!
I like the real horror is just her falling into madness.
"She could kill the killer"
🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
X does contain nudity and lots of blood but it is definitely a really good horror movie/slasher
watching Mitsy run make me have ptsd from the Rickon Stark's run in GOT
you scream to her to run and thrown away the shoes but she seems to not hear you lol.
if she took half a second to undo her shoes, she definitely could've gotten away 😭
The way you kept assuming there was a killer watching her had me cracking up lol I would suggest watching x but not sure if its one you’ll want to do a live reaction to lol
someone said it was waaaay gorier than this so i've gotta mentally prepare, but i definitely want to see it now 😂
@@fictionaldarling gorier and spicier but I think if you cab handle American horror story then it’ll be fine. I personally liked pearl better than x but I think it wools be interesting seeing that second just to see where the story goes
You can say what you like, but the most "horror" part of this movie will always be Pearl's mother... 😰😰😰
Iam german and her german is not good, it's very weird sounding. I love the film but please Hollywood if you use other languages please use actors who can actually speak the language.
Absolutely
@@pulpfictishe's most likely mimicking the German of that time. From what I know it sounded a bit different a century ago

Your horror commentaries are great! Besides "X" I really recommend The Invisible Man (2020) if you like more character driven horror movies.
ahh thank you!! i love character-driven films, so i'll definitely add it to the list to check out! :)
@@fictionaldarling pearl didn't have to tell charlie the cow to stop staring at her he didn't do anything 😂
Just so you know, there will be a third film in this series called Maxxxine released later on.
i've gotta watch X quickly then so i'm caught up 😂
@@fictionaldarling btw X has Jenna Ortega (Wednesday) 😊
Hey Jess, love your reaction videos. Keep up the good work. Really liking this slasher series so far. Mia Goth is definitely becoming a scream Queen.❤
ahh thanks for watching :) & omg, yes!! she's SO TALENTED

Only someone as strange as Mia Goth could play this role, and she plays it so well 😆
Such an outstanding film hitting many homeruns. Like Joker this script is about mental illness and loneliness. Mia Goth is definitely a star
All the times that she suggests Pearl is gonna get the killer, or waiting for the killer to pop out, has me like 👀... i hope this means you'll be watching X next
not ur Pearl reaction coming out at the same time as Oscar nominations and Mia Goth just got ROBBED 😫 they don't like horror i swear!
Horror is always underappreciated at the Oscars. No surprise she didn't get nominated. She deserved it though
she's a star to us at least 😭
LOL I never thought you would react to this, thanks! :)
haha, you can thank my friend for pitching it with an agent carter reference, i probably wouldn't have even known about it if she didn't say that 😂💀
Like Kathryn hahn one said.
THAT ACCENT REALLY COME AND GOES DOESN IT?
Attempt #8 for Jess to watch the Willow series
*insert buzzword here* sorry, me too tired to add more descriptions
Also thanks for reminding I need to catch up on horror flicks. To Mad God I go now
I just finished watching this on Showtime, and wanted to see your reaction. That monologue in the kitchen was fantastic.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching the first Knives Out. It's amazing, and you don't need to worry about watching the 'sequel' first as each movie is self contained.
i loved knives out!!
@@fictionaldarling Glass Onion just got an Adapted Screenplay nomination.
@@fictionaldarling It's such a good film.
I never thought how different an experience this film would be without having seen X!
Omg almost 100k im so proud of you fr girl keep up the amazing work i love watching your content sm ❤️
😭😭 ahh i appreciate it, thank you so much 🥺

this and X are definitely my favorite Horror from last year along with Smile and Barbarian. Last year was a such a great year for horror fan
I envy you Jess. You will appreciate X more watching Pearl first. You get all the background on what turns Pearl into a killer.
You definitely need to watch X. :D
yes!! i've got it on the list now 😂 it's going to be so interesting after this!!
Mark my words, this has all the hallmarks of a future classic. Even though the film makers may not have intended so. I hope we're all around to see that in 20 years.
i was truly not expecting this but i am so ready

“Who is watching her in this haystack” idk if shes the one u should be scared for, its everyone else u should be scared for 😟
Yeah she’s an incredible actor
I watched this movie and like it, but then I watched X afterwards and I actually like X a lot more, I feel this one kinda feels like it has to explain a lot of what happens in X and that kinda undermines this one for me.
Still I love Mia's acting and the atmosphere that this movie has.
EDIT: that scarecrow looks like it's made with an actual human face
NOOOO EMMAAAAAAA STONEEEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EMMAAAAAAAAA STONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 20:10
This, X and Till should've gotten oscar nods.
(wondering if Jess ever figured out that Pearl was always a psychopath and her mother knew)
u HAVE to watch X... but since u saw Pearl first, you'll have a different perspective...
now you have to watch X!!!

Loved your reaction! Loved the film!
It also doesn’t help her being isolated when Pearl and her family are German immigrants during WWI
I volunteered to be a stunt double for the Scarecrow but was denied.
Hey, Jess. Great video today. I have some video suggestions for you. I would love to see you watch the Kung Fu Panda, Shrek, and Puss in Boots movies on this channel. Keep up the great work 😁
awesome reaction!
raw (2016) next, please. intense coming of age story where a young girl comes face to face with who she is as she reaches adulthood.
Hey Jess I saw Pearl in theaters. :)
I haven't gone through your catalogue, but May from 2002 might be a fun time for you. Woman driven, with broken characters and weird shit abound.
Didn't expect this one to pop up!
I like how throughout the video you can hear her western accent come through more and more
I would sooner break my ankles running in those kitten heels than let pearl get me. Sorry, mitzy
I love your videos so much Jess
🥺🥺 💜

No one:
Jess: WHAT ABOUT RHE GOOSE!!!!
gone before its time!! 💀
Did you react to the new scream trailer?
I feel like Mitsy didnt want to live. Girlies who want to live have a bit more pep in their step.
i hope you'll react to Everything Everywhere All At Once
your friend gave you a really bad decription of the film. Pearl is more like The Wizard of Oz meets Joker
omg you look like Linda Cardelleni ❤
You might enjoy Barbarian
Mia goth and jenna oretega have Been killing the horror films lately
I had no interest in watching this but after your reaction I might give it a watch.
Now watch X :p So you'll know what happened to Howard ;)
Hello Jess 👋❤
hiiii!! 👋
❤️
Would you consider reacting to the last of us on HBO max

This is not as gory as X so prepare yourself cause while I love this movie I prefer X more cause it’s a dirty slasher done with refinement and it has Jenna Ortega with all the others doing good as well.
