Plot
A group offers to stand in for dead people.
Sinekatalog’s take
Yorgos Lanthimos's deadpan drama has a group impersonating the dead for grieving clients. Cold, strange and unsettling, it is a darkly comic study of identity that lacks Dogtooth's sharpness.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
