This rating may change if I watch a second time, since this really demands a second viewing given how many clues it drops along the way to its highly anticipated ending. I love how Lanthimos has the range to be defiantly bold and nuanced moderation in the same breath. The acting is incredible across the board. The score is its own layer of commentary. Ultimately, though, I feel its sci-fi elements overshadow its social discourse, thereby deadening its power despite what its finale would suggest.
