stop vote 1 year before the film's release, it's pathetic...
Unfortunately, the last act brings down the movie (it's dreadfully boring), but it has it's moments. Agony and Stay With Me are some of the highlights.

"A surgeon never kills a patient. An anaesthesiologist can kill a patient, but a surgeon never can".
"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" is a mixture of horror, comedy, thriller, and mystery all wrapped up in one bizarre, but brilliant crafted film. Even when you don't fully follow what going on, it at least keeps you interested and engaged. The audience reaction to this was the highlight. Everyone cringed at the brutal parts.
Unpredictable is the best compliment I can say. I literally had no idea where it was going and kept surprising me with each scene. I'm kinda lost words with this one. This is me still progressing.
The score was brilliant. Having this blast of a roar which shook up the room and was really eerie. The intensity continues to grow as the film moves on, but has it's fair of moments for dark humor. Even the camera work had a Stanley Kubrick vibe.
This might be my favorite film from Yorgos Lanthimos.
The first part was boring, nothing exciting has happened. The second half was good, It kept me in suspense.

Reminiscent of The Florida Project, only with more cock fighting and child abuse.
I'm torn between hating this film because the script was bad or because Imogen Poots was good. If the story truly was poor then that's why the film upset me so. But if, as I suspect, Poots' performance was so true that her character infuriated me, then the film has to be qualified as a success for making me feel something.
I didnt like any of the characters and the acting was subpar. How Reese can go from Big Little Lies to this boggles the mind.
I resisted the Siren's charms and turned this off after 45 minutes.
