"Bugonia" is the latest addition to Yorgos Lanthimos's hot streak, even if its grimmer outlook sets it apart from the weird, wonderful "Poor Things." Our review:

It used to be that I only preferred every other film by Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos. But after Bugonia, I have to admit I’m 100% all-in. I’ve liked or loved everything he’s made since 2018’s The …
