We can't get "Beau Is Afraid" out of our brains, so we had to discuss it as early as possible. The latest film from writer-director Ari Aster ("Hereditary," "Midsommar") finds Joaquin Phoenix wandering through a three-hour nightmare odyssey. We're still not entirely sure how we feel about the film, but we try to work through it the best we can in this spoiler-free review. We'll have a LIVE spoiler discussion in a couple of weeks once it's been in theaters for a little while. Co-starring Amy Ryan, Nathan Lane, Parker Posey and Stephen McKinley Henderson. Opens April 14 in New York and Los Angeles and April 21 nationwide.
