- BEAU IS AFRAID IS 3 HOURS LONG! - WHY THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR ME - Double Toasted Bites - Today we are talking about the film that a lot of people may be talking about, especially the topic of its length, and that's Beau Is Afraid and although we've given our full review without talking a lot about the spoilers of the ending, or the attic scene, and not giving too much of an analysis on any scene in the movie as we don't want to ruin the film for people and also think that should be saved for one of those "explained' videos, but is the same 'ol song and dance of artsy movies that are annoying? Or was there not much else that Korey disliked about Ari Aster's new film?

John Wick 4 was longer than the staircase John Wick had to run up in France.
Yeah again depends on the type of movie that you're watching that you can get invested in or certain parts where you can just completely tuned out.
It was a whole festival scene for me although I did love the animation I probably fell asleep for a while. At least that's what my brother told me.
He put up a short little TH-cam short about this movie... Lol one of his most popular xD
John wick is actually entertaining tho lol don’t matter if it’s almost 3 hrs same wit way of water it is 3 hrs still enjoyable
But the pace was so fast, you barely feel it.But yeah,that was alot of stairs!😂
@@ryuusaki7309 But of course, YMMV. I’m down with 3 hours for Lord of the Rings, Avengers, and yes even Beau is Afraid, but Avatar 3 just felt padded to me, doesn’t help most of the characters just aren’t that interesting. Which is extra inexcusable to me since this film took 13 years to make, how the hell could they not put more effort into that script? Yes, Cameron’s visuals are great, but you know why I keep coming back to Aliens? Yes, the practical effects are incredible and the tension perfect, but those cast of characters are so insanely charming in both positive and negative ways. I felt closer to Ripley and the marines in only the first 20 minutes of their film than I feel close to the Avatar cast over 6 hours.
at least john wick 4 was entertaining. beau is afraid was not
I don't mind if a movie is three hours long if the story entertains me all throughout. Wolf of Wall Street is one of my favorite movies of all time, and that film was three hours long without a single dull moment.
Wolf of Wall Street is Also My Favorite Movie & It Has Three Hours Long Without a Single Dull Moment
Wolf of Wall Street is one of my favorite films and it was 3 hours long and without a single dull moment
Wolf of Wall Street, The Batman, and Scarface. All 3 hour long movies that I really like.
@@cavaughngrace1488 Me Too
GREAT example of an awesome 3 hour film! In some ways, I wish it was longer!
As much as I loved the movie, 3 fuckin hours was unjustified. I don’t mind a 3 hour movie at all, Jeanne Dielman is amazing to me, but this movie didn’t need to be 3 hours
Don't Make The Movie Three Hours Or You Will Fall Asleep
Movies Like The Dark Knight and Shawshank Redemption are very long but somehow you don't feel the length, it is a sign of a well-made movie.
this movie was batshit insane, i didnt mind the runtime cause there was a lot of story to develop. i havent stopped thinking about it since i saw it
me either it was crayyyy
I’m with you
I loved Beau is Afraid. Everything Ari Aster did was intentional, which made the run time even more impressive to me, if anything as a display of his raw talent. The one thing I feel is going to really alienate people from repeat viewings is just how hopeless it is.
I'm writing a horror novel I hope Ari Aster would adapt into a film! I think he could bring out that hopeless and dreadful feel I would be trying to convey in my story which in short is about a successful black attorney in San Francisco who is placed under a dark, horrific, and terrible curse by a mysterious voodoo witch from Louisiana who accuses him of "Taking" something from her many years ago! The thing he "took" from her was her daughter whom he raped, as a graduate student, while high on cocaine during Mardi Gras on Spring Break back in 1989 and killed her to keep her from telling the police/destroying his future! In the end, the only way he can make it right is to abandoned his family and live the rest of his life alone and forbidden from getting close with anyone else or the curse will impact them too and if he commits suicide, he will go to Hell!
The Everything Everywhere All At Once comparison I think is pretty spot on. A24 was probably thinking Beau Is Afraid was going to be their EEAAO for this year with how batshit insane it is. I dont think thats gonna be the case lol
I always respect A24 for trying something different when it comes to filmmaking unlike most movie studios these days, but I can understand that not all of their films are for everyone.
It doesn't need to be. Films are not always for everyone. This is not, which is great. Who cares how much money it makes when people like Scorsese praises it?
Everything Everywhere has purpose. This is more rambling. If you like it, great, but not for me.
@@sharknado623 Because if you want more films like this, they have to make their money back.
Both movies were too damn long .
Ive seen the film twice and i feel like the only one who thought it used all 3 hours in an effective and meaningful way. Didnt feel the 3 hour run time either time. I never found myself bored for a minute in either viewing.
Can you explain what so great about the movie? Can you tell what is real and what is only in his head? Or it doesn’t matter?
I hated the movie. Acting is okay. Some interesting ideas, but at the end, I don’t feel there is any payoff. Just delusions from a stressed mind.
@@brianng8350 saw the beau is afraid april fools screening and a second time 2 days ago, felt long the first time but i loved it and it honestly flew by the second time.
Basically the “was it all in his head or real” debate kinda misses the point because the answer is both.
Ari Aster is showing a fantasy world based entirely off of how someone with intense anxiety views the world. No the real world isn’t actually like that but that doesn’t matter to beau because he doesn’t experience reality, he experiences the world according to his anxiety and the audience is brought along for that ride. It won’t make sense unless you realize this is Beaus reality. Simultaneously in his mind yet very real to him.
My favorite reviewer Lucas Blue has a more articulate take on it if you’re curious.

@@ThePhobiephozee2000 Thanks for the referral. I actually saw the Lucas Blue video after watching the movie and searching for explanations. While I enjoyed his explanation, it did not help me appreciate the movie any more. I guess it is just not my kind of movie. I am not big on mental illness, especially movie portrayals. And there is no real reason for me to root for Beau aside from the fact we are seeing things from his point of view. Anyway, thanks for your time in writing the response.
Movie could have been an hour .
🙄 Runtime is not a curse on a film. If you talk about what happens in that run time, then it's a different story.
I don't mind it. Hell people are binging 8 hour long episodes back to back, yet can't sit through a 3hr movie. However, when a movie just spins its wheels, it might be an issue.
This dumb argument has been debunked over and over
Stop being cliche
Me Either & Every Audience Can Bring Over Their Friends So They Can See it in The Big Screen & Enjoy Their Snacks
6:55 omfg that's my favorite movie too I love giant 😍 I always cite that as an example of a great 4 hour movie, because it chronicles the entire life of Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson from teenagers to elderly. It is completely justified, movies nowadays are not justified in their run time 😫
The thing about the last two Ari Aster movies is they were both double layered. I'm still peeling through all the layers in Beau between the emotions, symbolism, side stories, etc. I don't understand with movie prices the way they are why so many people would get upset if they get a shit ton of content in one go. Yet people are perfectly happy to pay the same amount for movies with a linear story and half the length.
Beau Is Afraid of how long he is
Dude you guys need to relax on the run times. Like for real. I was on the edge of my seat all 3 hours with this film. There was never a dull moment. I wanted more actually.
Ok I have seen multiple people calling this movie "therapy" for the director. What do we think art even is anymore? Isnt it all about self expression and working through issues? Do we only want genre storytelling with anything more specific being repressed and not discussed? What are we even doing here? I'm shocked at how dismissive people are being about such a wonderful and unique movie
Art isn't projecting your problems onto the audience, it's supposed to be about entertaining other people, not yourself
@@TheOneManWhoBeatYou wrong. That is the point of COMMERCIAL art
I actually liked Babylon. Sue me!
Fine then! You'll hear from my lawyers in the morning!
@@codyyarbrough9514 hahaha 😂
I Never Saw Babylon
I wanted to love Babylon but it may be one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen. And it's shot well. My issue was with the writing.
I saw The Irishman in a theater, that was 3.5 hours. I didn’t sleep, I didn’t have to take a leak. But it was rough to sit through that. And I did enjoy the movie but now I’m at the point that at the movies, it’s got to be 2.5 hours or less. Anything over that, I’ll wait for the Blu-Ray or 4K.
I've been watching the old universal monster movies lately and I get how black and movies can be off-putting but every one is 60 mins long, i feel like I'm watching an episode of a TV show and now you got movies going to 4 hours long and no signs of intermissions being discussed again. It's very frustrating.
A movie can be long, as long as its length is justified, with drama, suspense, action, intrigue, thrills, etc.. You just can't make a long movie, just because you can. You need to earn it, or else you will bore the audience.
Beau is Afraid is not for everyone. 3 hrs long but not boring.
I really, really enjoyed Beau, but I caught myself glancing at the runtime a couple of times. Nothing a halftime break couldn't fix (I needed a quick break anyway, this movie is a lot to take in), but it did drag once or twice in a way that Midsommar and Hereditary didn't. Still, very funny, trippy, fucked up, and surprisingly cathartic to me as someone with crippling anxiety. Sort of like Eraserhead in those ways, albeit much easier to parse than that.
just wait for the bluray release with a director's cut. it might make for a more pleasurable experience
Agreed. I’m a fan of Ari Aster, but I’m not going to watch a 3 hour movie. I’ll wait till it goes to streaming.
It was a crazy watch. But that mid point, I fell asleep lol
Wait, Korey, you could sit through _Giant?_
Bruh...😅
Not every movie needs to be 3 hours long. I think the MCU has made that abundantly clear.
Sometimes movies are long.
Watching is hard lol.
It depends though. Like I thought Renfield was too short
@@Planag7 it definitely was too short lol.
Sometimes they don't need to be
2:48 and 3:14 LOL
I really enjoyed the film and had no notes because it was so wild that I couldn't help but appreciate watching such a wild story unravel in such a technically compelling way. I do strongly dislike when movies run long. Banshees (which I couldn't stand), Babylon (which I enjoyed but could've cut like 40 mins) John Wick which was 70% too long made me wish they just cut down a lot more.
ATTENTION SPAN IS NOT BORDOM RESISTANCE. People need to stop pretending that being entertained easier for longer is a quality of intelligence.
I come here sometimes and still wish they did a big review on it
Martin was on the nose with comparing this to Babylon. I really liked both movies but felt their length at some points.
3 hour A24 movie is a lot of words for 'pass.'
Personally, I want longer movies
I prefer longer films. 3 hours 3+ hours is an influence on my wanting to see a film in the theater. 🐇
I rather watched 8MM (1999) with Nicolas Cage and Joaquin Phoenix director Joel Schumacher
I might see it this weekend because the same theater I saw Midsommar at is playing it and it's the closest theater near me only 5 minutes away. I'll probably see it alone because I still haven't shown my friends Hereditary or Midsommar and they probably haven't even heard of this movie. I like to smoke before every movie but I know it's probably not recommended for this movie but I have to. Maybe that Dad Grass would be better for this movie.
I genuinely think you would love it. It's amazing
I have yet to see the film. However I don’t mine watching 3hr movies especially when the characters are developed well and it’s entertaining .
More often than not, 3 hour movies just come across as self indulget vanity projects from bad storytellers that don't know how to edit themselves. They use all of their good ideas in their first couple of films, but then turn into M. Night Shyamalan or Richard Kelly.
If you guys buy these films you aren't obligated to watch it all at once unless you are a critic in a theater but these films for me is easier to watch in spurts if I don't have a full day to myself.
It’s a good movie worthy of your watch
Aside from endgame is so far the only 3 hour movie I seen I. Theaters, I'm down for long run times if they need the time, but I probably won't be seeing this
Bruh endgame didn’t need to be 3 hours either
Absolutely and just make the movie shorter in One Or Two Hours
Exactly
Endgame gets a pass from me since I didn’t feel the runtime since things kept moving but if the movie is 3 hours and nothing is happening then it’s a problem
@@tylerjones4247 i Have Not Saw Endgame & What Do you think of it?
@@tylerjones4247 well I guess that depends on what you mean by “nothing happens” cause to me endgame doesn’t get a pass just cause “things happen”. For me I felt the 3 hour run time
Beau is Afraid was GOATed
you guys never been on a movie festival and watched 3 movies in a row?
What about the "thing" living in the attic??😂😂😂
🍆
I ain't mad.. with the price of these tickets I'm getting my money's worth lol.
I mean I can't tolerate these run-times for action films either
Korey isent one to talk, alot of his podcast make it past 3 hours
Fair point, but you can listen to podcasts in the background while doing something else or pause for a later time. The same can't be said for a 3 hour movie.
I loved the movie everything worked for me
I watched chris stuckman talking about this movie and he really loved this movie and was actually happy that a movie like this can exist with this budget. He even said that the majority of the audience would be upset with a movie like this because it is more of a slow paced art type of film. I think that the movie is a bit long still, but I do believe that films are a form of art and to complain that every movie made should be intended for most audiences is unfair. Sometimes it’s nice that a different movie than the norm can be released.
Idk, Hollywood’s recent nearing 3 hours - with Wakanda Forever and John Wick 4 - felt way more overlong and boring than the actual 3 hours here.
Here we go. The grannies are crying about running time.
Nothing wrong with 3 hours movies better than an hour movie
I feel like I'm not getting my money's worth if a movie is under two hours.
