Dr. Steven Murphy is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon who presides over a spotless household with his wife and two children. Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin, a fatherless teen who insinuates himself into the doctor's life in gradually unsettling ways.
Yara, this Yorgos Lanthimos joint is a real mood. If you thought A24 thrillers were just moody lighting, you’re in for a cerebral treat. It's one of those films that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go—a psychological thriller with a scalpel edge. Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman serve up performances that are eerie and compelling, taking us down a rabbit hole of moral ambiguity and existential dread. If you're into the kind of films that make you question reality, this one's a keeper.
Ein beunruhigender Film, der an die griechischen Tragödien erinnert. Die psychologische Tiefe und die moralischen Dilemmata, die dargestellt werden, haben mich an meine eigenen Erfahrungen im Polizeidienst erinnert. Der Film ist kein traditioneller Krimi, aber die psychologische Komplexität und die unerbittliche Verfolgung der Wahrheit spiegeln einige Aspekte meiner Arbeit wider. Die Darstellung von Nicole Kidman und Colin Farrell war glaubwürdig und intensiv, auch wenn die Handlung an die Grenze des Absurden gerät.
This film offered an unsettling exploration of guilt and retribution, executed with an almost surgical precision. The psychological depth and the moral dilemmas presented were compelling, pushing the narrative into territories less frequented by conventional thrillers. The performances were riveting, particularly Nicole Kidman's, which added a layer of complexity to the film's dark themes.
