Bugonia

Yorgos Lanthimos’s macabre and amusing new film has a predictably strong performance from Emma Stone...

...is offbeat and outrageous but has a deadly serious underlying theme.

...might be as blissfully bonkers as the era of its release, yet don’t let that distract from what a masterclass in directorial control the film represents for Yorgos Lanthimos.

Fears unfounded – Bugonia is an absolute blast.

...a casually sardonic black comedy which might constitute his most approachable film to date...

...a masterfully macabre internet-bubble satire, about a thrustingly successful young pharmaceutical chief executive (Stone) who is kidnapped by one of her lowliest employees.
