Description:

Ready for uncomfortable laughter? Welcome to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017).

Pulling from Euripides' Greek tragedy "Iphigenia in Aulis," this divisive film deftly balances pitch black, absurd comedy (children falling! Uncomfortable sex talks!) with horrifying moral dilemmas and dread (children dying!).

Plus: misunderstanding kink and incest, monotone line deliveries, female passivity and male narcissism, bad (?) singing and all of the times we laughed and probably shouldn't have.
