I happened to catch this at NOLAIFF, I was told expect the strange. This no budget indie delivered on that promise. In the first act I thought oh no this is low budget wannabe Lynch or Cronenberg but by the last act I had changed my tune to this is low budget weirdness influenced by Lynch or Cronenberg, but certainly it's own beast. It kept me guessing and entertained, my only real complaint was at a svelte hour and 20 minute runtime when the end rolled around I had so many questions left.
This is probably my favorite film from Lanthimos, as stated above the cinematography is just gorgeous and the performances are stellar, the story is sad and haunting at times thoroughly devastating. 10 out 10
As a fan of both The Lobster and Killing of Sacred Deer I was so excited for this film. After my first watch I walked out feeling like I'd seen what are undeniably some of the year's best performances in a film that just felt overall a bit underwhelming. There are certainly scenes that work but I couldn't shake my feeling of being a bit let down. 6 out of 10.
