A New York Times Critic’s Pick! A man seeks to break free from his predetermined path, a cop questions his wife’s demeanor after her return from a supposed drowning, and a woman searches for an extraordinary individual prophesied to become a renowned spiritual guru. Director Yorgos Lanthimos follows up his Oscar-winning Poor Things with three thematically parallel stories that feature Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Jesse Plemons in multiple roles. Greek writer Efthimis Filippou, who wrote the screenplay with Lanthimos, brings back the searingly caustic wit that defined their earliest collaboration, The Lobster.
“[T]he audacity of the project carries the day, and a cast once again bringing their A-game for a director who knows how to work with ensembles.” — Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
“Stone may get all the attention but with his sandy, anonymous mustache and eyes fixed on the middle distance, Plemons is the movie’s anxious soul.” — Ty Burr, The Washington Post
