    The absurd measures in which we go for acceptance, love, and community— and the people who exploit those measures.  Dogtooth fans, we won.

    I hate how Lanthimos edits his movies, I hate where he places his camera, I hate how he moves his camera, I hate how he directs his actors, I hate how he uses his score, I hate his sense of humor, I hate his use of dissolves, his use of black-and-white, I hate every single…

    Easily top 3 for the year, will revisit over and over. A film that won’t ever quit leave you.

    WTF! A Bizarre mess that escalates with every chapter with no fulfilling conclusion or tying thread to each story. The last minute in the movie is the only entertaining 60 seconds of the entire runtime. I wish I could have the time spent back watching this mess hoping for…

    Don’t see this unless you want to be freaked out and disturbed. I’m sure there’s some artistic merit to it, I just can’t get past how disturbed it is. Don’t take children to see this either.

There’s something about a lot of the film as a whole that makes it feel as if Lanthimos is trying a little too hard.

It’s a triptych that at first seems slight, then gains meaning the longer you hold its three seemingly disconnected short films in juxtaposition and peer through the overlaps.

Yorgos Lanthimos returns to his days of nasty absurdism, with three vicious, amusing stories about love and obsession. The recurring ensemble, led by Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmons, delivers a showcase of versatility in which they meet the director on his peculiar wavelength, leading to nearly 3 hours of unsettling fun.
