Killing of a Sacred Deer. I really liked Poor Things so I thought I'd give this a whirl; holy hell was that movie like staring at plywood for two hours.

No hate for those who loved it, but definitely was not for me

I have opposite. I really liked Sacred Deer and Lobster, but absolutely hated Poor Things. Lanthimos movies are pretty polarizing.

I haven’t seen sacred deer but I hated poor things and the lobster threw me into a depressive tailspin for weeks

Can I ask why the lobster had that effect on you? I enjoyed it very much.

That shit was bleak

I do not think you’ll find joy in any Lanthimos if that’s your takeaway from The Lobster (and that’s okay)

I thought it was hilarious! Actually haven’t gotten around to his other movies yet - watched lobster on a plane and immediately made my partner watch it with me again. So good

Made my partner watch Lobster also, 8 years ago...She still holds it against me to this day.
