Reviews

Highly original and mordantly funny. Perfect for fans of Franz Kafka, Charlie Kaufman and other bleak surrealists.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday

Yorgos Lanthimos' first English-language feature is a wickedly funny, unexpectedly moving satire of couple-fixated society.

Guy Lodge, Variety

Richly rewarding but often very disturbing.
