Critics Consensus

Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons are at the top of their game in Bugonia, a bonkers entertainment that applies director Yorgos Lanthimos' whip-smart method to modern society's madness.

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

A unique remake that’s both faithful and wildly different from its source material, one that’s unafraid to get even bleaker with its paranoia.

Rated: 4/5

Wall Street Journal

The story is pointedly not for everyone, but I enjoyed its twisted deviltry.

Mary Beth McAndrews

Dread Central

While its approach to contemporary culture is sticky, Bugonia is a must-watch for the freaks out there who hunger for bleak cinema that laughs in the face of a happy ending.

Rated: 4/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

In a post-2020 world, it results in poor pacing and a muddled message.

Rated: 6/10

Den of Geek

As with her previous Lanthimos joints—and even the indulgent misfire they made in between, Kinds of Kindness—Bugonia’s Michelle provides Stone with a striking departure from anything else in her repertoire.

Rated: 4/5
