Critically acclaimed film fast tracked to streaming. Surprised to see it popped up today as it's still playing in some cinemas.

IMDB: 8.2, Metacritic: 88, Oscars-hype: 100

      I'd say Emma's Stone acting, Mark Ruffalo's acting, Willem Dafoe's acting, the directing, the smart/funny script, the score, cinematography, set design and costume design all make the movie worth watching TBH

        This director is one of the few genius level out there. Check out The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer

      I liked yorgo's The Lobster. I could not understand The killing of sacred deer, apparently you need to read and understand bible references.

      haven't seen Dogtooth (just found on imdb) but I am willing to give this a try. 💁‍♂️

    • Chazzozz on 09/03/2024 - 09:26

      Considering it has ‘Expired’ added in front of the title I’d hazard a guess it’s most likely not going to work. Sadly, Disney doesn’t believe in giving you a trial period for free. Save your money, find a friend with a Plex server, and ask them to share their library with you.

      • SirFrankGrimes on 09/03/2024 - 10:56

        I thought I’d check as sometimes deals expire because prices change rather than the method not working

    Would have loved to see a 4K disk release of this one, it was so beautifully shot. But the bargain side of me can’t complain with the stream.

      Agree.

      Not only that but it’s another way to have people not own anything.

      Although this is free I never understand how posting a free movie on a paid streaming service as a bargain.

    I would prefer it if it was a Blu-ray release as I don't want to sub to Disney+ but I guess I'll have to import it when it gets released in the UK.

    Quite enjoyed this movie - didn't expect it to be so sexual, but alas it was a lot of fun. Just feel that the ending didn't land as it could/should have. Very enjoyable if you don't mind arthouse and a bit of depravity

  • brotherfranciz on 09/03/2024 - 10:34

    Yes, it's definitely better to watch this in the privacy of your own home. I watched it at a cinema in late December (limited release) and it was extremely awkward/cringe in some scenes.

    SPOILER below - sorry not sure if Ozbargain has spoiler formatting so I used the strikethrough format instead.

    [SPOILER]
    I was particularly disturbed by the sex scenes - Emma has a woman's body but a child's brain. I must be overreacting because no one else seems to have the same issues with this aspect, and have hyped the movie up so much.
    [SPOILER]

      I really like the movie, but I did notice the same thing as you. It is a genuinely demented premise and literally no-one seems to bring it up or think its that weird. I guess its just us :D

    • someone else on 09/03/2024 - 12:31

      That's not even spoiler, more like the synopsis.
      It's a child's brain in a fully developed woman's body, including morphology and physiology, which could explain the sexual behaviour. I'm pretty sure the writer, director, and actors were aware of what they were doing. It's weird and can be uncomfortable, but that's just a movie. We watch movies about paedophilia, corruption, serial killers, ETs… It's all fiction, unfortunately based in reality at times. A child's brain having a developed body and enjoying sex is not that disturbing if you consider phisyilogy.

      Not sure that ‘no one else seems to have the same issues’, it’s the very frequent major comment about the film.

    • maverickjohn on 09/03/2024 - 14:46

      Nope very much agree with this.. it's why it's not a movie I would recommend. In all honesty I see this as no different to paedophilia.
      Also the premise of a brain just being a brain is down right stupid. Forget that it's a tangible network of dendrites and afferent/efferent nervous system with the spinal cord attached.. but hey art…. I thought it was a particularly stupid and criminal movie.

        reading all these spoilers/hints it does sound pretty extreme kind of "try hard"y. like "what's the most crazy difficult possibly offensive concept I can come up with for a film do it for the views". at least movies like midsommar and mother etc were kind of subtle and smart about it.

        still gonna watch it though. those who "liked it" must see what the director is doing as just the usual. I don't fully get yorgos movies myself.

        if you want a more normie recommendation I think "The favourite" is also on disney+. it got a few good laughs out of me. it's not a comedy and the laughs are spread out but I found a few moments hilarious.

        • maverickjohn on 09/03/2024 - 20:01

          Thank you for a very sensible response. It's people such as yourself who help promote good discussion. Sincere thank you.

          • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 09/03/2024 - 20:45

            @maverickjohn: yea maybe I should mention the things I tend to laugh at are pretty odd. for example might as well plug another recommendation lol um the movie The wizard of lies (it's on binge last time I watched it). it's a dead serious bio but I burst out laughing a few times in that one too when most people would not find the movie funny at all. don't want to give any spoilers so I won't be specific.

          "what's the most crazy difficult possibly offensive concept I can come up with for a film do it for the views"

          For me the whole "child's brain in an adult's body" concept is more a way of showing that Bella is a blank canvas rather than portraying her as a naive object to be exploited. Considering the source material and Frankenstein influences it works better as a plot device than say, total amnesia from a knock to the head.

          The humour and absurdity in the movie comes from dropping such a person into polite society and watching the results. We see Bella respond to everything that comes her way with no preconceptions. Nothing is good or bad, she just responds naturally with the most logical / pure acts and observations.

          The whole sexual awakening thing just reminded me of Freudian psychology.

          • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 09/03/2024 - 20:56

            @Pantagonist: ok you are making sense but yeah for now I think I was just thrown off by the comments mainly because I watched the trailer for this months ago and it didn't give much away other than a quirky film kinda like wes anderson with few stooge like characters. I think it hinted to a bit of "scifi" which got me interested. I don't like wes anderson films btw.

            blank canvas kinda makes sense in terms of scifi brain transplant. like things arent "great" being funny. I guess I should really just watch it for myself first. it's a unique concept just maybe everyone is focusing too much on the sex (still don't know how much of the movie that actually takes up if I had to guess it's not much).

            • Pantagonist on 09/03/2024 - 21:41

              @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm:

              (still don't know how much of the movie that actually takes up if I had to guess it's not much).

              If you don't like sex or nudity (male and female) in movies then you'll have a hard time. The sex there is doesn't pull any punches. It's a fairly bawdy movie, just like The Favourite was. It's nothing like a Wes Anderson movie.

              Easy to recommend if you like Yorgos Lanthimos' other movies.

    Started watching this and couldn't even get a quarer of the way through. Only afterwards I went to see what the audience reviews were, and they are shockingly bad! So so many 1 stars!

    This is basically a p0rn film for paedophiles!

    Yay, great acting, but seriously? What's society coming to!
    May be unpopular to say, but what a trashy film.

      Yep pretty much what I said above. it's good I'm also not the only one who viewed it that way.. the fact that people are openly praising it and accepting it is also worrying in all honesty.

    havent watched this yet because I subscribe through apple which I got 10% flybuys dollars worth for and accessing via apple subs was broken for awhile.

    well what do you know I can access them today but they removed disney plus from the available resubs. this happened with another service too. great.

    maybe its a good thing because a reply above is suggesting that sex and nudity does take up most of the movie.
