Yorgos Lanthimos remains a unique visionary in the world of cinema. Emma Stone deserves that Oscar win as she balances uncouth, naivety and free-spirited adventure all at once - and Mark Ruffalo is a fantastic cad.

There is A famous movie saying, “Never go full stupid”, but Stone finds the right balance that prevents it from being embarrassing to watch, which other actors failed at. However, that …
