I finished watching Beau Is Afraid and immediately looked up the reddit reaction to make sure I wasn’t nuts thinking it was awful.

I do that with lots of movies tbh, reddit had kinda taken over the imdb forums. Waiting to see if kbin has the same effect.

Beau is afraid fucking sucks btw

So a social worker comes over, inspects the home.

Finds drugs scattered about, moldy bottles, rotten food, diaper hasn’t been changed in days. Deems the child at risk. Child is taken by the state.

Around the time that Social Services cut off services to Hinojosa, her life was finally stabilizing. She moved in with her mother. She reenrolled in parenting classes.
