Okay, "Pearl" just... Wow. What did I just watch?

So, I finally got around to watching "Pearl" (totally blind, knew nothing going in!) and I'm still kinda processing. I saw someone mention it was horror but like, not just horror, right? It felt so much deeper. Mia Goth is INSANE. Like, seriously, that final scene where she's just... smiling? Chills. Actual chills. I was squirming the whole time. I feel like I just witnessed something really disturbing and I'm still trying to figure out if I loved it or hated it. I know it's set like way back when, but it almost felt like a twisted fairytale, you know? This girl trapped on a farm who wants to be a star. But then it gets REALLY dark. I'm curious about the whole backstory with her mom too. She's so intense! Did anyone else feel kinda sorry for her dad, even though he doesn't have a huge role? Like, he's just kinda stuck there. I'm probably missing a bunch of stuff, but I was honestly too busy being freaked out. I have to ask – that dance audition scene? I can't stop thinking about it. Was that supposed to be funny? 'Cause I def laughed, but I also felt really uncomfortable doing it. What were everyone else's takes on the tone of the film? I'm so curious to know if I'm alone in feeling like it's hard to pin down. And also, I saw that there is going to be a third film 'MaXXXine', How do you all think that is going to tie in? Honestly, I think I'm more scared about that one than I am about Pearl!
