Screen Door’s Ybor City microtheater is undoubtedly the coolest place in Tampa Bay to watch a movie with just 37 of your closest friends, but more and more, it’s becoming the only place to catch limited releases for some of moviemaking’s most talked-about films.

Case in point: this weekend’s four-day run featuring 24 surrealist horror-comedy “Beau Is Afraid” where Scorsese-approved director Ari Aster taps Beau Wasserman (played by Joaquin Phoenix who owns that weirdo, middle-aged man thing) to help tell the three-hour story of of Oedipal sadness that’s being hailed as one of the most bizarre films of 2023.

Doors are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, with a 3 p.m. matinee set for Sunday. “Beau Is Afraid” is showing at Screen Door Microcinema Thursday-Sunday, May 25-28 for $8. More info is available via @screendoor.ybor on Instagram.
