The title of the movie has to refer to what happens to you when you watch it. Jokes aside it's the first time I fall asleep in the cinema while watching a movie. The seats weren't tall enough so I couldn't rest my head and I was constantly falling asleep in the void and then instantly waking ip. That was going on for the last 45 minutes of the film. Has to be the slower movie I've ever watched. I was waiting for a climax or something to compensate me but it wasn't there. Nothing ever happened. Everything stays unanswered which is not bad by itself but in this case some answers would be the least.

Lathnimos has managed -through his films "kinneta" , "dogtooth" , "Alps" , " Lobster" and "killing of the sacred deer"- to create his own autistic and sourreal universe . Everything seems deranged but soon you are drawn to it , become a part of it and then it's like an interesting parallel reality showcasing some points for our real world.

This film has a very interesting concept and the acting matches the whole idea perfectly. Although it's a slow film it kept me interested until the end.

Rating 8/10 for uniqueness.
