Overall, Bugonia is a wild, absurdist ride that keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat, questioning their own perception and challenging their skepticism. Are we being gaslit? Is Michelle really an alien, or have Teddy and Don spent too much time on the internet?
The film is a fascinating and nihilistic exploration of conspiracy theories, corporate greed, and the complexities of grief. The commentary, however, is muddled at best, especially toward the end. Still, the film remains an effective analysis of people’s, particularly Americans’, overall distrust in official narratives and how, occasionally, conspiracies end up being based in reality rather than delusion.

The acting in Bugonia is phenomenal, with the cast firing on all cylinders, especially Jesse and Emma, who shaved her head on camera for the film. Jesse delivers an intense and devastating performance as a terminally online conspiracy theorist desperately overcome by grief, while two-time Best Actress Oscar winner and Lanthimos muse Emma is perfect as the shrewd and patronizing corporate girl boss in six-inch Louboutins.
Bugonia is simultaneously bizarre and of the times. There has never been more distrust in the government and the media, especially as AI technology continues to advance and blur the lines between truth and fiction. Independent “research” in online echo chambers can and often do lead to misanthropic violence, as is the case in the movie. The question remains, where is the line between healthy skepticism and paranoia in the age of misinformation? And, will our quest for vindication be our downfall?
Bugonia hits theaters on October 31.

Through the haze, I heard my husband calmly speaking to someone, describing the situation as a simple roadside incident. Then fragments of quiet conversation revealed something deeply unsettling.
