Bugonia

Would I have picked this to be on the best picture list?  Honestly, it’s out there.  It’s original, creepy, Jesse Plemons can be really scary as a “normal” person, and Emma Stone goes to extreme lengths to convince us she’s just as normal and not a victim of a bizarre conspiracy theory or has Stockholm Syndrome, although it’s easy to see why one would be drawn to that conclusion.  Using the word bizarre to describe this is a bit lite.  Stand out for me is the actor who plays Jesse’s cousin.  From the get-go, you notice he’s a bit different, and that’s perfect because he is autistic, high functioning and he does a fantastic job of portraying Donny (Aidan Delbis).  Be aware that there are not happy outcomes here and the violence level, on a scale of one to ten, is about a seven to ten+.  It’s streaming on Peacock and Fandango.  Rating:  how do you really identify an alien?  ICE need not apply.  3.25⭐️s
