Peacock PremiumPeacock PremiumBugonia does something more interesting — it makes you think. With Emma Stone at the center, Bugonia belongs to a new wave of psychological thrillers that blur myth, philosophy, and emotional storytelling. Instead of cheap shock value or paranormal spectacle, the film uses subtext, layered dialogue, and symbolic imagery to pull the viewer into a slow-building sense of unease. To understand this movie, you can’t just watch it — you have to pay attention. ⸻ Story and Pacing: A Constant State of Suspicion. The pacing in Bugonia is deliberate.
In usual Lanthimos style, the film’s composition is as meticulous as it is unnerving. His wide-angle shots and sterile environments create a visual irony between structure and chaos. There are times when the pacing falters — long, stilted dialogue drags the middle act, threatening to dilute the story’s carefully-built tension.
