Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) by Brent_Marchant — 27 Oct 2017
When making a psychological thriller, the cardinal rule is not to make it boring, and, unfortunately, this snoozy, unintelligible offering falls into that trap within the first 10 minutes. A stilted script, wooden performances and undecipherable narrative drive this cinematic mess into the ground quickly.
It's truly disappointing that the creator of "The Lobster" followed up that brilliant work with this self-indulgent garbage. It's one thing for a film to be off-beat and unconventional, but it's something else entirely to be so cryptic that it's impossible to figure out what's going on.
