"Bugonia functions primarily as a stage for the memorable performances of Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone, who carry the movie with intensity and charisma.
Although Yorgos Lanthimos maintains his cohesive visual style and the tonal balance between black comedy and violence, the discursive and predictable approach to its central themes — humanity, corruption, paranoia, inequality — prevents it from achieving the complex resonance of his best films. Something didn't quite click in the narrative execution, but it remains a peculiar and entertaining experience, albeit with a short-lived thematic impact.
It leaves us with the message that, sometimes, the most fearsome monsters don't come from space, but rather from the reflection we find in the mirror."
