- Travis Burgess @ The Sacred Wall
- Excerpt: Beau Is Afraid’ has flashes of brilliance, but they mostly just serve to distract from the rest of the film’s insufferability

- Laura Cliffod @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer/director Ari Aster was wise to pursue Joaquin Phoenix as the paranoid protagonist of his Freudian odyssey of maternal Jewish guilt tripping, the actor the perfect victim of the filmmaker’s gleeful cinematic torture.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: The kind of film you can’t get out of your head for days after experiencing.
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: It takes two hours and twenty minutes of Joaquin Phoenix’s unadulterated exasperation, but [LuPone] does finally arrive to unsurprisingly be the best part of the whole even if her character is the catalyst for why it’s all been so gosh darn boring.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Ari Aster has created a sense-bending film that will leave you stunned like no other.
- Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Ari Aster takes a break from elevated horror to film three hours of gonzo black comedy that captures what I imagine hour 36 of a nonstop meth binge must feel like: a tsunami of paranoia, hallucination, and self-loathing that seems like it will never end.

- Excerpt: Beau is Afrais is a picaresque of Homeric scope and half-Lynchian, half-Daniels absurdism that finds every excuse it can to throw in a Freudian symbol or five.
- Andrew Wyatt @ The Take-Up
