10.0/10 ★★★★★

Lanthimos turns the grotesque into poetry. Plemons is a flesh-and-blood monster that hurts to watch. Cinema that cuts like a rusty knife.

💬 Memorable quotes

" Do you think you're free? You're not. No one is. — Robert (Jesse Plemons)
" Obedience is not love. It's just fear in disguise. — Emily (Emma Stone)

🎬 Behind the scenes

🎯 Filming lasted only 42 days, almost impossible for a film with four intertwined stories.
🎯 Lanthimos forced the actors to improvise entire scenes without a script, just with vague indications.
🎯 Jesse Plemons shaved his own head on set, without a double or special effects.
🎯 Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe reunite with Lanthimos after *The Favourite* and *Poor Things*, but this time the director gave them the freedom to explore the darkest aspects of their characters.
🎯 The original title was going to be *And*, but it was changed in post-production because it sounded too abstract.

👥 Who is it for?

fans of Yorgos Lanthimos' cinema those looking for something that will stir their stomach (in a good way) lovers of surrealism with a sharp script viewers who enjoy discomfort as an aesthetic experience followers of Plemons since *Breaking Bad* those who believe love can be a trap
