In an age where distinguishing what’s genuine on its surface from something that’s clandestinely veiled, it may be difficult to know what to believe. As a result, we might give up and disregard making any attempt to identify inherent (and potentially significant) differences. Or, by contrast, we may become so obsessed with reconciling such matters that we descend into a sea of paranoid conspiracy theories, …

Convinced that the Andromedans are bent on taking over the Earth, cousins “Teddy” (Jesse Plemons) and “Don” (Aidan Delbis) hit upon a plan to force their emperor to discuss the terms by which he will withdraw his fifth-column forces from the world. That involves some anaesthetic, two pairs of stockings and the kidnapping of “Michelle” (Emma Stone). She is the successful chief executive of a blue chip tech company …

Wow, what a twist! I won't say anything about to avoid spoilers, but it's just mindblowing and unique movie. Definitely a masterpiece!

It was a good movie to watch. Brutal torture and low pace in the middle may be harsh and boring, but eventually covers everything.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Bugonia w/my partner and ya know what? Seeing it for the second time really makes me appreciate how brilliant this movie is. Had Poor Things not happened, I believe this movie would have gotten a lot more Oscar buzz. Also why was the actor who played Teddy not nominated for more awards??

neutral · AI labelView post →Saw Bugonia! I really liked it on the whole; all three leads gave astonishingly good performances. I am... not convinced I liked the ending or that it served the story, though I know it's a remake of an older film so what can you do. I want you all to know I was LITERALLY wearing my sickos sweater

neutral · AI labelView post →Bugonia. The plot is basic & conclusion somewhat predictable but what makes it compelling R the great performances of Emma Stone & Jesse Plemons. & the movie never tells us how 2 feel about these 2 extreme polar opposite characters. Both sympathetic & terrifyingly creepy at different times. A-

I watch a lot of movies, I don't necessarily have a yearly goal but I started recording all of the movies I watched in 2023 and have wanted to post my thoughts so here they are. A few notes - My rating scale is .5-5, and my review philosophy is "how well does the movie succeed at what it is trying to do?" - Thus Pacific Rim would be rated highly, whereas Transformers would not.…

Joining it in the Best Picture category are two other genre films (BUGONIA and FRANKENSTEIN), both of which also scored a bunch of noms. And Madigan for WEAPONS! Yay!

positive · AI labelView post →God bless Yorgos Lanthimos. He's made yet another movie in the Up Frank's Alley genre. Really enjoyed Bugonia.
positive · AI labelView post →Bugonia is definitely my favorite movie of 2025, but I gotta warn, it’s thoroughly and sufficiently upsetting, up there with the most upsetting films I’ve ever seen.
positive · AI labelView post →So, yes. Bugonia is an absolute stunner of a film that perfectly captures what makes this new dark age of angry men, anti-intellectualism, and "doing your own research" feel so profoundly doomed. My review:

neutral · AI labelView post →29. Bugonia (2025) Fuuuuuuuuuuuck this is bleak. Giving nothing away, it's the weird quirky hostage movie for our bizarro times. And that's all I'm gonna say.
negative · AI labelView post →I saw a trailer for Bugonia today and it had a tag line/quote "YOU'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE BUGONIA". Dude, it's a remake. I have, in fact, seen a movie very much like Bugonia.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched Bugonia.... I started this movie and was intrigued by the potential for a movie that explored the class struggle. Nobody in the movie could be considered a "good guy". The closest was the low intelligence cousin that just got wrapped up it things. The major thing I left the movie with was just anger at how it ended. It built all this class struggle stuff up just to end it like "lol aliens". It's like the ruling rich made this movie just to laugh at the people who would go see it.…

neutral · AI labelView post →I've been saying it for a month now, but I think Bugonia is my favorite movie of 2025.
positive · AI labelView post →Yorgos Lanthimos’s new film, “Bugonia,” is a skillful exercise in brand maintenance. It is “more an expertly engineered Lanthimos product, perhaps, than a full-bore Lanthimos triumph. But that’s more than enough,” @justincchang.bsky.social writes.
neutral · AI labelView post →oh NO i logged onto Letterboxd and everyone loves Bugonia? Movie fandom is truly fucking cooked
negative · AI labelView post →I'm mixed on Yorgos Lanthimos's BUGONIA. On the one had, Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone are unreal in the pitch black comedy. On the other hand, I think the film sorta runs away from itself. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social.
