”Lanthimos lingers on the squalor, leering at the ugly haircuts and bad food in irritatingly asymmetrical compositions. But as always, he’s wallowing from a safe distance, making another movie in which the human race is put on trial and found wanting. I never feel like he considers himself part of the problem. His films don’t hurt because he doesn’t have any skin in the game.” – North Shore Movies, 10/24/2025
