The title says it. "Weird" for the sake of it, with no real pace, essence, or depth. The film started off with an interesting, kind of tired but still potentially engaging, black-mirroresque story that still didn't quite flow ("intentional", I know, but aren't we bored of intentionally boring artsiness yet?). Olivia Colman was the only good thing about this movie and even she couldn't save it. I guess Lanthimos stans like this film. I didn't. But then again, I didn't like Dogtooth either.

I saw this film when it first came out. I liked it and recommended it to friends. In retrospect, this wasn't an absolutely amazing film (it was good though). I think it was the actors who made it incredible, all three of them. Of course, there is a special corner in my heart for Olivia Colman, so I might be biased. That one scene with Emma Stone and the dude she marries is priceless.
