With her husband overseas fighting The Great War, young PEARL dreams of
escaping her demanding parents and squalid life. The musical equivalent
of little horror-flick might be a tone-poem, as it's director Ti West's
meticulous ambiance and star (and co-writer) Mia Goth's unique persona
that give this grisly, bucolic hell its grip. Mostly recommended.

I have no idea what "the musical equivalent of little horror-flick" means.

As with a 'tone poem', its only "message" is the mood it sets.

Huh? The film is parody and comedy from the first frame. The time setting for the film is 1918, yet, the typeface for the opening credits is clearly a send-up of the 1940s. To boot, the film has a lazy eye toward maintaining the illusion of a time long gone. Visual clues to Carrie and Psycho appear and probably others that I missed. The whole film is a joke.

It's parody like FAR FROM HEAVEN is parody, but both take swings at
actual pathos. I found it hard to wring comedy from that final shot.

Oh, come on. It's hysterical. Two notes: Where were the flies that must have come off of the pig; and, Mia Goth may have turned in a fine performance, but as a farm girl she was clueless as to how to handle an ax.

Might be worth noting that PSYCHO is sometimes called comic ...and I'd
allow that PEARL's comic aspects are broader.

That "broadness" allows for little else.
