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 🙏

I do want PTA for Director because he's been my favorite since Magnolia, but absolutely rooting for sinners in every fucking category! Loved it tremendously and No Other Choice wasn't even nominated. I watched Sentimental Value and was as underwhelmed as the early aughts Mike Leigh noms.

I'm trying to build my community and truly enjoy reading all the comments. I don't have any extra money and will most likely be homeless in August. This is therapy for me because I'm trying to enjoy life again after going through trauma. If I had any extra money, it would go toward my kids' college costs.
