The Guardian

Emma Stone gives an amazing and hilarious performance as the sexual-innocent primitive Bella Baxter, the secret experimental subject and ward of Dr Godwin Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe.

Variety

Lanthimos matches Bella's fascination with rampant glee in this lavish, violently ravishing film.

Los Angeles Times

A drama of female empowerment and prosthetic dismemberment rolled into one, it may be the first Lanthimos movie in which this unsparing filmmaker doesn’t just slice his characters open but actually likes what he sees.

This may be Lanthimos' most unhinged movie, but it also has a joyous exuberance that I haven't felt in much of his earlier work.
