Pearl (subtitled An X-traordinary Origin Story) is a 2022 slasher film directed by Ti West, co-written by West and Mia Goth, who reprises her role as the title character, and featuring David Corenswet, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, and Emma Jenkins-Purro in supporting roles. A prequel to X (2022) and the second installment in the X film series, it serves as an origin story for the title villain, whose fervent aspiration to become a movie star led her to committing violent acts on her family's Texas homestead in 1918. Pearl had its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2022, and was released in theaters in the United States on September 16, 2022, by A24. The film grossed over $9 million and received positive reviews from critics who lauded Goth's performance, West's screenplay & direction and its homages to the films of the Golden Age of Hollywood—particularly The Wizard of Oz (1939) and Mary Poppins (1964). Another film in the series, a sequel to X titled MaXXXine, is currently in development
