did not like this at all. felt like such a waste of time for me. it wasnt terrible. it was just a movie. i didnt care at any point.
I thought this was incredible. One of the finest films of the decade so far. I'm a big fan of the director's film Dogtooth, and this has many of the same qualities; mixing the absurdly comic with genuine unease, and being a very smart and insightful commentary on human behaviour. What I like about Lanthimos' films are while they raise interesting questions and big ideas, they're first and foremost entertaining. This isn't a dry, austere art house movie. I probably laughed more at this than the majority of studio comedies released this past decade (although it also made me feel more at unease than most horror films too).
Great cast too. I always feel when you give Colin Farrell good material he's one of the best around. His comic timing on his delivery is amazing. And he kills it, as does John C Reilly, Olivia Coleman, Rachel Weisz and some more.
Can't wait to watch this again.
How did this end.
I stopped watching after season two fiasco
The first season was GOAT.
i forgot about this film, will have to watch it very soon.

funny story about this movie. me and my friend used to play this game where we'd challenge eachother to get really stoned and watch a movie, usually something fukked up or trippy. He made me watch this and I had to turn it off like halfway through. It is very disturbing and it felt like what I was seeing was real. Michael Rooker is a hell of a fukking actor. That movie was so low-grade and dirty that it felt too real to my stoned highschool mind. I should probably rewatch it.Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer
Movie is still one of the coldest movies I've ever seen...even with all of the "advancements" in special efx and all that it accomplishes a whole lot with a lot less. A huge reason why this movie is so effective is the director doesn't judge it's character's even if they do horrible sh-t throughout it.
