Best Netflix Movie for quite a while. The opening story alone sets the tone - and a high bar, for the stories that ensue. In 20 minutes you'll know if you're going to love it or hate it. I loved it.

Along the lines of "A Quiet Place", - same silliness, only a little more - plausible? Nah, that's not right. Nothing great, but what you'd expect, better than your average NetFlix Fare, and I enjoyed it more than "A Quiet Place". But nowhere in the league of "Get Out" or "Don't Breathe".

Saw this with the boy over the holiday season - posted the trailer earlier. It was every bit as good - and savage - as I expected. A perfect metaphor for the current political climate (a different style of telling than "Sorry to Bother You").
What's funny, despite almost universally stellar reviews - check out CalgaryMovies.com and read the reviews local Calgarians left. Clearly they didn't "get" it, but you have to laugh, elderly people walking into a movie expecting a sort of Merchant-Ivory styled period piece, and getting - well, - definitely not that.
By director Yorgos Lanthimos, who's previous films included "The Lobster" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer".

A curious website - or, ordinary website with some curious content. Curated and user-submitted found objects - scraps of paper with writing on them, notes to self, birthday cards, postcards, old photographs, you name it, it's here.
