What is Pearl about?

Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions collide.

Pearl is a 2022 American psychological slasher film directed, produced, and edited by Ti West, who co-wrote the screenplay with Mia Goth. It is the second installment in West's X film series and a prequel to X (2022). Goth reprises her role as the title character, with a supporting cast featuring David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, and Emma Jenkins-Purro. The film serves as an origin story for the titular villain, whose fervent aspiration to become a movie star clashes with her home life and violent tendencies, leading to violent acts on her family's Texas homestead in 1918.
