Viewing Notes
The people going to see this who’ve only ever seen his more recent output like THE FAVOURITE and POOR THINGS are gonna be in for a surprise as Lanthimos steps back into his more absurdist work with a triptych of three stories starring mostly the same actors, set in the same area (New Orleans), but not necessarily tied together; or maybe they are? The in-credits scene certainly hints that the first and third stories are tenuously connected.
Anyway, this is the type of Lanthimos film I first fell in love with with DOGTOOTH. Stone, Plemmons and Dafoe anchor everything with great performances and let the rest of the cast shine around them as well.
