Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
Starring: Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan
Release: November 3rd, 2017
So many thoughts. First, Yorgos Lanthimos: I loved Dogtooth but couldn’t accept The Lobster. The former was so weird but was also so horrific, I couldn’t turn away. The latter tried comedy, went dark, but kept audiences are arm’s length. This one looks far more like Dogtooth than Lobster, so that’s good. Secondly, I think Farrell is tremendous, especially when he’s allowed to be Irish, and I think he’ll shine here. Nicole Kidman is well placed in such an odd film, and Barry Keoghan looks to build on Trespass Against Us and Dunkirk. I’m pretty excited.
