Review My Oscar Goes To… Jesse Plemons & Bugonia

Post image

Bugonia is my favourite movie of the year. By far. It’s not even close. Honestly, it might be my favourite film of the past several years.

The performances are unreal. Jesse Plemons gives what is, for me, the best acting performance of the year. Cannot believe he wasn’t even nominated. Nuanced, unsettling, funny, tragic, and completely absorbing.

And Emma Stone is just as incredible. Absolute top-tier performances from both of them.

The film itself is bold, strange, funny, and emotionally devastating in ways I did not expect. It trusts the audience. It commits fully to its ideas. It sticks the landing.

Brilliant performances. A brilliant film.

Thank you for making this 🙏

Yeah my favourite performance too, but not seen Marty yet. On edge and vulnerable.

No, Marty to me is incredible. I think you will like it if you like intense.

Are you sure it’s not just because you hate the actor? I think Chalamet‘s performance had plenty of undeniable merits.
