Pearl
“I’m a Star!”
The prequel to Ti West’s X is a bloody Technicolor nightmare focused around Mia Goth’s tour de force performance as Pearl. The story follows a farm girl who doesn’t get to go somewhere over the rainbow when Hollywood auditions come into town. When she’s told a clear no, she reaches a breaking point repeating “I’m a star!” until she’s dragged off the stage and goes from Dorothy to Norman Bates.
