I truly believe Yorgos Lanthimos has outdone himself with his latest film – it’s his best work in years, hands down. You get everything you expect from him: incredible filmmaking and phenomenal acting. But what really sets this one apart is the depth of its ideas. It’s a film that genuinely makes you *think*, and everything it has to say feels smart and meaningful. Unlike some of his more recent films, it isn’t strange just for the sake of it. It’s a really challenging, inventive piece of art that feels completely unique, blending dark humor, horror, and drama in a way I haven’t seen before. At its heart, it’s a deeply moving and complicated story about life, trauma, what we’re all searching for, and the world we live in – all these big themes are woven together brilliantly. The end result is just stunning – a beautiful, but also incredibly sad, film that’s stayed with me since I saw it.
