Rum and Popcorn

Bugonia

A CEO is kidnapped in small town America. Her conspiracy-theory obsessed captors don’t want money. They want an invite to her mothership. Things get weird. It’s Yorgos Lanthimos. Of course things get weird.

I loved this. Having seen a lot of hostage-and-kidnappers films, this never felt even slightly familiar. It was always going somewhere new and unexpected. Jesse Plemens and Aidan Delbis were astonishing as the cousin kidnapper duo, and Emma Stone is fabulous again.
