Yorgos puts on a show.

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2019)

This film was a large scale period piece with some modern undertones. All three actors pack strong performances, particularly Olivia Coleman. A riveting story told in 8 chapters. The setting allows Lanthimos to show his prowess at creating a convincing world, filled with fleshed out characters, stunning costumes, and a powerful supporting soundtrack.
While on a filming perspective , some of the shots did pull me out of the immersion, particularly due to the heavy use of fisheye lenses.
However, the film is creative and unique, a wonderful showcase of a studio allowing creative people to follow through on their vision. Compellingly unique, one of the best films of the year undoubtedly, with some of the best performances.
