I watched it at movie festival a month or so ago and I very much enjoyed it.

I had not seen any of the other movies by the director so I didn’t have any expectations whatsoever.

Emma Stone did an amazing job.

Oh I didn’t know it’s already out. I think I only saw one teaser in the last few months. Love me some Yorgos. I’ll watch this asap and update this comment with my review.

Watched this last week. Great movie! Long but I wasn't tired of it at all at the end. Improbably happy ending by Lanthimos standards. Super lavish sets, lots of entertaining scenes, a whole lot of sex. In fact the movie goes from black and white to color about the time Bela runs off with the Ruffalo character to Lisbon - black and white pre-sex, and color after. Enjoyed the steampunk vibe. Main character is a bit of a Mary Sue, but I'll allow it.

This movie looks terrible to me.
