As a fan of the original, the latest epsiode did not wirk for me at all. Half of the movie I had an impression it’s a copy of „Immaculate”, which IMO stands as a better movie.
I fell robbed of 150 minutes or my life. What a pointless effort that flick was.
I vaguely knew what to expect from Yorgos Lanthimos, but nothing prepared me for such treat. This is absolute eye-and-mind feast with bizarre steampunk/art nouveau setting, which reminds me of the best creations of Peter Greenaway. Best movie in last few years, don’t miss it.
I am honestly shocked by the fact, how very few people actually DO get the plot of Monstrous. This is not a horror, it’s a clever disguise for psychological drama and grief study. Actng and scenography are top notch, pay attention to little hints.
That was a really good piece of arthouse cinema. Do not expect typical plot+action schema. Pictures are stellar in this one.
If you liked „The Witch”, or „Hagazusa” you’ll love The Lamb. This is perfectly acted dark folk tale with atmospheric horror elements.
