Bugonia review: A big bald beastly journey

Bugonia Review

A big bald beastly journey, the film stars Emma Stone as a CEO who is kidnapped and accused of being an alien in Lanthimos’s dark and schlocky class-warfare thriller.

Inspired by the 2003 Korean film by Jang Joon-hwan, Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest adaptation repositions the story as an absurdist class-warfare parable set in the contemporary United States.

The film amplifies the dystopian aspects of the contemporary United States.

Author's summary: Dark class-warfare thriller with Emma Stone.
