One of the most fucked things I've seen. Subtly alien/bizarre & morally perverse in a Freudian way. Torture to watch, but earns props for it

The acting was incredible and it was beautifully disgusting the way through. I loved it.

Kubrickian examination of hubris and power. Intentional strange delivery of dialogue. A pretty messed up movie, to be sure.

This one is very out there. Yorgos Lanthimos creates a story that you don’t even realize is unfolding.

Not expecting that. I don’t know if I would watch it again probably with someone who has never seen it. Very psychological.

Thanks to the "interesting enough", u can put up with characters that feel like a fricking wall. Trying to understand why that is the point.
