Style over substance

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 2018)

Excellent costume design, flawless musical score, superb cast, and yet a distinct lack of storytelling on offer.
The film meanders from scene to scene offering no drama, intrigue or even shock. I hate to overuse the word but 'predictable' is applicable to this film. A real snooze by Lanthimos' standards, who seems to have misplaced all of the tension from "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and the comedic value held by "The Lobster" seems to have all but vanished here.
