IMDb plot summary: Steven, a charismatic surgeon, is forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice after his life starts to fall apart, when the behavior of a teenage boy he has taken under his wing turns sinister.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. Starring Colin Farrell, Barry Keoghan, Nicole Kidman, and Raffey Cassidy.
This movie is SO INTENSE. Even in the first hour in which nothing is happening, the monotone delivery of all the characters lends a really terrifying undertone to whatever's really going on. I don't know that it'd be appropriate to say I liked this movie, but I definitely understood it more than, say, Dogtooth.
3 stars.
