Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.
- Monkey See! Monkey Review!!-1 d.TLDR: If you’re looking for something different, something that plays with familiar themes in an unexpected way, I’d definitely recommend giving Bugonia a watch. I went into Bugonia not really knowing what to expect, other than the fact that Emma Stone had shaved her head for the role. The moment I saw that teaser online, I knew I had to check it out. When an actor commits to a transformation like that, you anticipate a performance with real intensity and purpose—and she absolutely brings that. Seeing Jesse Plemons in the cast was another pleasant surprise. He’s one of those actors who consistently delivers but still doesn’t get the recognition he deserves, at least in my opinion. His presence alone raised my expectations. What I appreciated most is how the film puts a fresh spin on the typical hostage‑or‑kidnapping narrative. I won’t spoil anything, but it definitely takes the genre in a direction I didn’t see coming. The acting and character development worked well for me, and the slow build kept me engaged. I do wish the movie had offered a bit more background context—especially leading up to the final twist. I’m someone who loves a strong backstory that ties everything together, so when a film leaves some of that out, it’s not a deal‑breaker, but it does leave me wanting more. Still, I liked how everything ultimately came together in the end.
- Austin Burke2. november 2025Bugonia is a strange, albeit honest, examination of the human condition and a look at how trauma can dictate decision-making. At the same time, this is an often-insane dark comedy that kept me on the edge of my seat and provided one of the most fascinating experiences of the year. Lanthimos is in his bag with the visuals, cinematography, and ability to get the best out of two top-tier actors. Where we ultimately wind up will frustrate some, but the way this film approaches the journey was far more entertaining than even I expected.
- pirateglenu-1 d.I didn’t know what I was getting into when I played this with my parents, and I was definitely confused at first. By then I probably spent half the movie laughing, meanwhile my parents are disappointed in my choice of movies. That should tell you something about this masterpiece. EMMA STONE THE ACTRESS YOU ARE!
- MrTrivet27. mai 2026Ultimately, the film gained more value for me in the second and third reflection than in my initial reaction after the screening. Throughout, I felt that the director was deliberately playing with my perception of truth, introducing absurd concepts and directly asking whether I was willing to believe in them. On a surface level, it is an analysis of a conspiracy-minded individual - their hyper-focus on details and the logical traps they fall into, losing the ability to draw conclusions from facts. At the same time, it is easy to both sympathize with the protagonist and view him with a sense of pity. Eventually, I didn’t even notice the moment when the film shifted into a broader commentary on the human condition. An interesting detail is the music, reportedly composed without access to the screenplay, based solely on concepts (spaceship, bees, basement). This makes the achievement even more impressive, as the composer creates a striking sonic backdrop for the events. As is often the case with Lanthimos, the whole experience left me with a sense of moral unease - and I would definitely recommend it.
- Steven Schwalger16. mai 2026Really really slow, like super slow and quite boring to start. It does pick up and is some what intergeing however I called the twist within the first 20min, which wasnt hard to see coming. And once you know what is coming the movie becomes a waiting game and you have to wait a looooooooooong time for the pay off.
- Kevin Ward18. november 2025What a blast! Plemons and Stone bouncing off each other is pure pleasure from their deadpan volleys to the way each scene seems to tilt depending on who’s holding the power in the moment. I’m so glad I caught this in a theater, because it looks fantastic. The production design and those slightly skewed Yorgos compositions just pop on a big screen. And I loved that ending. From the moment Plemons teleports to the final shot, it’s Yorgos fully speaking my language. It’s strange, playful, and weirdly triumphant.
