Working as a profound meditation on karma, predestination and guilt and a proper scary movie, this is near career-best work from all involved. Be warned: this is tough stuff.
A step yet further into the deadpan weird from Yorgos Lanthimos. Disturbing and often distressing, but compulsively watchable.
Starts off ominously unsettling, before an out-of-nowhere twist leaves us totally adrift in a sea of anxiety.
Yorgos Lanthimos’s surrealistic revenge tragedy is all the more chilling because of its absurdist and macabre humour.
Darkly comic and disturbing, it boasts some impressive performances.
Brilliant central performances from Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell feed the inexorable rise of dread.
Deadpan humour meets full-blooded horror in Yorgos Lanthimos’s unsettling drama about a surgeon’s friendship with a teenage boy.
