REVIEW: “Bugonia” (2025)

by

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone have teamed up for their fourth film together. Stone, often considered Lanthimos’s favorite actor, fully commits to his unique and often challenging style. While past collaborations, like “Poor Things,” featured intense physical transformations, Lanthimos’s request for Stone to shave her head in “Bugonia” feels oddly minor – it’s mostly used for a running gag. Ultimately, “Bugonia” offers much more to discuss than just its unusual visual choices.

Okay, so I’m a huge movie fan, and I just saw that Ariana Grande shared some really sweet photos on Instagram! She joined the cast of Meet the Parents 4 a while back, and she was giving us a peek at what she’s been up to. There were pictures of her with a sign showing her character’s name, and honestly, the cutest one was her hugging Ben Stiller – he’s producing and starring, of course. She wrote that filming just wrapped and called the last few months ‘unimaginably special,’ and how much she loves everyone – the Fockers and the Byrnes family! She said she’s going to miss them all terribly and that we’ll see the movie next November. It sounds like she had a blast!

Biped 2 Review
