Amongst my favorite working directors, Yorgos Lanthimos has a way of poking at how we perceive reality that is unsettling, absurdist, and deeply satirical, and with ‘Bugonia’ he applies an unsettling sci-fi edge to further knock us off-kilter. Emma Stone, shaved head and all, is great, but Jesse Plemons proves once again that he too is one of the greats.

A film review of 'Bugonia' directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, and Aiden Delbis.
