‘Bugonia’ a darkly comic gut punch

Review of "Bugonia"

"Bugonia" is a darkly comic gut punch that is hard to shake.

The film's twisted vision of contemporary life is both savage and mundane, with lines like

“There’s Andromedan code all over your Instagram”
that are difficult to resist.

Director Yorgos Lanthimos is known for his surreal and often experimental films, but "Bugonia" is thrillingly tied to our reality, making it possibly his best film.

Despite initial apprehensions about Lanthimos' flamboyant severity, "Bugonia" leaves a lasting impression.

Author's summary: A dark comedy that packs a punch.
