While Teddy plans to use Michelle as a bargaining tool to demand aliens’ exit from earth, is Michelle really an alien?

Director Yorgos known for his unconventional story and narrative style, again comes up with a mind bending film, which will keep you hooked only to amaze you with solid climax.

Talking about the technical aspects, while the camera and BGM department score brownie points, editing could have been better, especially in the talkie portions, which looked dragged.

Talking about the performances, Emma Stone has once again hit the ball out of the park with his impeccable and powerful act. Jesse Plemons is simply great as Teddy and makes his character very human and relatable. Aidan as Don makes you empathetic towards his character, which he played with utmost sincerity.

On the whole, Bugonia is different, mind bending and treat for cinephiles.
