Plot

A couple raise their three grown children in a walled compound, teaching them a false language and telling them the outside world is dangerous.

Sinekatalog’s take

Yorgos Lanthimos's chilling black comedy shows a family raised in a sealed bubble of false rules. Deadpan, strange and disturbing, it is a sharp study of control and language.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
