    A Yorgos Lanthimos Film!

    All you need to know about this short is... it's made by the man himself Yorgos Lanthimos.

    The house that jack built inspo?

    I couldn't stop thinking of "The house that Jack Built" while watching this short. The choice of music, Matt dillon himself who appears in both everything looked somehow familiar.

    Surrealism Meets Ambiguity in a Divisive Cinematic Endeavour

    While this movie undeniably showcases the signature surrealism we've come to expect from Yorgos Lanthimos, it might just be a bit too enigmatic for its own good. The film navigates the complex themes of identity and human relationships with a disconcerting flair but often leaves viewers grappling for solid ground. Matt Dillon's performance, though commendably intense, sometimes feels overshadowed by the movie's overindulgence in its own obscurity. The pacing, though aiming for unsettling, occasionally veers into the tedious. The visuals and score, while atmospheric, may come off as heavy-handed to those looking for a subtler narrative. Overall, this movie is a testament to Lanthimos' distinctive style, but its insistence on ambiguity may not sit well with all.

    It's not what you think it is!

    Yorgos Lanthimos said, "it's time for lesbian representation." A thought provoking short with a wonderful cast and outstanding cinematography. He needs to make more shorts with his impressive mind.

    Enjoyable

    It's less than 10 minutes and it's beautiful and enjoyable at least. It's like Dostoyevsky's "The Double" but really short and it's Lanthimos instead.
