    I’ve been very ill recently so a comfort film was in store for me. And what’s more comforting than terrorism? 

    One of the greatest satires of all time from a man whose genius knows no equal. Savage in its portrayal of religious fundamentalism and the police state.

    The best plotting of Lanthimos' films I've seen so far. Emma Stone is flawless, effortlessly transforming herself from naïve scullery maid to power-hungry opportunist. Rachel Weisz is fantastic. The lack of surrealism hurts the comedy a lot. "Cunt" just isn't as funny as it would be in some of his other films.

    Ending on a positive and very obvious one: Olivia Colman. That's all.
