Mia Goth portrays the title character, a dreamy farm girl in 1918 who desires to dance and eventually be in the fledgling movie industry. This is constantly squelched by her stern German mother (Tandi Wright) who resents caring for her invalid father (Matthew Sunderland). But Pearl will not be denied, and sneaks into town to watch more movies, where she hears of a dance audition and is mesmerized by a local projectionist (David Corenswet). There are obstacles in the way, and Pearl will knock them down.

”Pearl” is currently in theaters, including Chicago’s Music Box Theater, click MIA GOTH for tickets and info. Featuring Mia Goth, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, David Corenswet and Emma Jenkins-Purro. Written and directed by Ti West. Rated “R”
