Reteaming for the fourth time in seven years, director Yorgos Lanthimos and actress Emma Stone once again show why they are among the best actor-director partnerships of the modern era of cinema. Based on the 2003 South Korean film “Save the Green Planet!” “Bugonia” is an excellent science fiction film that is both thought-provoking and humorous. Yorgos Lanthimos continues to show why he is one of the best directors working today by crafting a sci-fi film that plays with your predictions and theories that you have coming into this film, and twists it entirely right from under your nose. Emma Stone delivers another excellent performance as a hostage victim who is sold on the false idea that she is a space alien sent to study human behavior. Jesse Plemons provides a standout performance as a paranoid beekeeper who kidnaps Emma Stone, believing she is a space alien serving a greater purpose. Thanks to Yorgos Lanthimos’s incredible direction and excellent performances from Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, “Bugonia” is one of the smartest sci-fi movies of the year and another grand entry in Yorgos Lanthimos’s filmography, which includes “The Lobster”, “The Favourite”, “Poor Things”, and “Kinds of Kindness”.
This glowing review of "Bugonia" highlights the brilliant, unpredictable execution of Lanthimos and Stone, which takes a straightforward concept and twists predictions entirely.
