Bugonia - Recensies

Fears unfounded – Bugonia is an absolute blast.

...is offbeat and outrageous but has a deadly serious underlying theme.

...might be as blissfully bonkers as the era of its release, yet don’t let that distract from what a masterclass in directorial control the film represents for Yorgos Lanthimos.

This twisted, genre-bending reimagining will delight some viewers but leave others baffled.

...hyper-contained, rigorously controlled torture chamber...

Director Yorgos Lanthimos continues to get the best out of his Poor Things star.

Is there a director-actor partnership quite as creatively fertile as that of Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone?

...despite trailers marketing the film as a raucous, bloody affair, Bugonia might actually be Lanthimos’ most digestible film to date.

It’s another win for his ongoing partnership with Stone, who may be abducting another Oscar in a few months’ time.

Lanthimos is truly a one-of-a-kind artist, to be applauded and cherished, just as unique and oddly inspiring as the titular phoenix-like regeneration.

A bald Emma Stone dazzles in Yorgos Lanthimos’s timely, heartbreaking comic satire.

Yes, it’s a departure from form, but it’s an uncompromising vision, set on a path that’s both deviously unexpected, but also pure and distilled Yorgos Lanthimos.

...a casually sardonic black comedy which might constitute his most approachable film to date...

Yorgos Lanthimos’s macabre and amusing new film has a predictably strong performance from Emma Stone...

...a masterfully macabre internet-bubble satire, about a thrustingly successful young pharmaceutical chief executive (Stone) who is kidnapped by one of her lowliest employees.
