latest movie from director Yorgos Lanthimos:

Two conspiracy-obsessed men kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth.

had to see it based on the premise alone! lmao

also cause i enjoyed Poor Things and The Lobster.

might be one of my favorite movies of the year next to Frankenstein, One Battle After Another, Weapons and Caught Stealing for sure! definitely had fun with it!

i was curious about it. might have to see it based on what you said, since i thought frankenstein and weapons were exceptional and OBAA was pretty good

Saw it and enjoyed. It might be his most accessible movie.

Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone and Aidan Delbis definitely stole the show here.

didn't expect to see Stavros since he usually does podcasts and stand-up comedy but he works pretty well here! dude played one of the most chill ass cops i've seen in a movie! lol

Agreed it's one of the best I've seen this year, and my favorite of the 3 Lanthimos movies I've seen (the other two being Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness). Stone and especially Plemons are fantastic. It's quite a ride.

I haven't seen his more recent stuff, but I liked The Lobster and The Killing of Sacred Deer, so I'll maybe try to catch up one of these days.

There some sort of twist?

If you haven't yet seen the original, Save the Green Planet!, I'd definitely recommend that

It's a pretty decent flick and very well acted by all the casts.

There is and, imo, does the movie kind of a disservice to an overall great film.

yeah, those last couple of minutes could have been left out for sure.

I saw the trailers and it was on my radar.

And then it wasn't... Shoot.
