Bugonia

CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 7.6

Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnap a powerful company CEO, convinced she is an alien bent on destroying Earth. As they try to make her reveal what she knows, their strange standoff becomes a tense, darkly comic clash over belief, power, and what counts as the truth.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like odd, darkly funny thrillers that mix paranoia with sharp performances; Not for you if you dislike graphic violence, slow stretches, or stories that resist easy answers.
