Bugonia

"A zany, comic, icky, smelly thriller about the deadly cocktail of loneliness and web browsing."

— Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post

"The droll, disturbing and unexpectedly moving Bugonia more than justifies its offshoot existence."

— Hannah Strong, Little White Lies

"The film unearths new depths of existential anxiety engendered by the increasingly tumultuous 2020s."

— Rocco T. Thompson, Slant Magazine

"As terrific as Stone is, though, it’s Jesse Plemons who gives the film’s most extraordinary performance."

— Owen Gleiberman, Variety

"Stone is a mesmerizing riot in this bleak satire of our current state of disorder—as is her co-star Jesse Plemons, who matches her intensity and manages to outdo her craziness."

— Nick Schager, The Daily Beast

"All these excellent, exacting details coexist well with each other to produce one of Lanthimos’s best films yet, a movie of startling ingenuity that also doubles as a humorous but pointed warning to us all."

— Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

"“Bugonia” is a hilarious movie with no hope for the future of humanity. What optimism there is lies only in the title, an ancient Greek word for the science of transforming dead cows into hives, of turning death into life."

— Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times

"Yorgos Lanthimos wants you to care about the planet. If only to save your own skin. Such is the case with his latest feature, Bugonia, an incredibly quirky call to arms about the beauty of our world and how hellbent we are on destroying it."

— Kristen Lopez, The Film Maven

"In an era where it’s become all too easy to release simple, didactic “eat the rich” stories, Lanthimos’s comedy-thriller zeroes in on the compelling cognitive dissonance that might lead one down a path of reckless lone-wolf violence"

— Siddhant Adlakha, Observer

"Lanthimos expertly milks maximum comic tension... Stone and Plemons prove ideal co-conspirators, with carefully balanced performances that have them taking turns as hero and villain without ever quite annihilating our sympathies or winning them outright."

— Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph (UK)
