‘MaXXXine’ Starring Mia Goth Rated “R” for Violence and Nudity

Mia Goth is back as Maxine Minx in Ti West and A24’s upcoming MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that continues the story of Goth’s final girl character from the former movie.

This year’s trilogy-ender MaXXXine brings Mia Goth into the 1980s, specifically 1985. With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood.

Following in the wake of the trailer this past Monday, MaXXXine has just received its official rating from the MPA. Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, the film is rated “R” for…

“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”

If you missed the trailer, you can watch it right here.

Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.

Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”

Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.

Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
