SaralnamaMovie Review: 'Bugonia' by Yorgos Lanthimos. A darkly comic film starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. Stone plays Michelle, a pharmaceutical CEO kidnapped by Plemons' character Teddy, an eco-terrorist who believes she's an alien. Set mostly in a basement, the movie explores themes of corporate greed, conspiracy theories, and environmental concerns. Loosely based on a 2003 Korean film, 'Bugonia' offers a chilling commentary on human nature and societal divides. Rated R for violence and language. Runtime: 118 minutes. 3.5/4 stars.
