ABOUT THE FILM

"Jesse Plemons is outstanding as a conspiracy-obsessed paranoiac who, with the help of his brother, kidnaps a powerful CEO, believing she is an alien intent on destroying Earth.
An inspired take on Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 South Korean satire Save the Green Planet!, Lanthimos’ madcap and uncompromising vision doesn’t disappoint, as events unfold with surprising, sometimes shocking, results."
— Watershed summary

"Bugonia isn’t merely dark; it’s a black hole. But Mr. Lanthimos’s vision is sternly compelling, and Bugonia is that exceptional movie that’s extremely hard to forget."
★★★★ Kyle Smith, WSJ

"His movies — farces, fables, experiments — reside in surreal worlds of their own. But his latest, Bugonia, is thrillingly, if tragically, tied to our reality. It might even be his best film. Though I’ve been apprehensive about the flamboyant severity of Lanthimos’ movies, I found Bugonia, a chamber-piece gut punch, hard to shake."
★★★★ Jake Coyle, AP

"Lanthimos elevates an already fantastic concept, making an essential film about the world we live in and just how insane and hopeless it can feel at times."
★★★★ Ross Bonaime, Collider
