Mia Goth may have amassed a filmography dominated by horror films like “A Cure for Wellness,” “Suspiria” and “Infinity Pool,” but she prefers not to limit herself.
Directed by Ti West, the films follow the lives and crimes of Pearl and Maxine, both played by Goth.
As we meet them in the first movie, “X,” Pearl (Goth under a pound of prosthetics) is a sexually deprived older woman with murderous tendencies, and Maxine is a young porn actress who dreams of making it big.
The second entry, titled after the main character, serves as Pearl’s origin story, and brought Goth greater recognition for her bold, meme-able performance.
The third, “MaXXXine” (in theaters), picks up with its title character in Hollywood when she finally catches a break.
