Innovative, Very Impressive

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2019)

I'm not a Yorgos Lanthimos fan. I've seen his previous films and I've either loathed them or didn't agree with them entirely. Sometime he's just a provocateur adding "edgy" scenes to every movie without really thinking about the plot. This time I was utterly impressed. There's a frenzy about him in my country (Greece) I went to 3 different movie theaters to find a ticket. Well made, beautifully shot. A movie that you will be thinking for days. The leads are astonishing. I was mostly impressed with Emma Stone. Even though for most of her career she has been playing the same character over and over again in recent years and particularly with this film she proved she has a very diverse acting caliber.
