Cinema Static

The Killing of a Sacred Deer stars Colin Farrell , Nicole Kidman , Alicia Silverstone & Barry Keoghan. The director of this film is Yorgos Lanthimos ( The Lobster , Dogtooth , The Favourite ). The film is...  well, let me set you up with the synopsis: Dr. Steven Murphy (Farrell) is a renowned cardiovascular surgeon who presides over a spotless household with his wife (Kidman) and two children. Lurking at the margins of his idyllic suburban existence is Martin (Keoghan), a fatherless teen who insinuates himself into the doctor's life in gradually unsettling ways. Soon, the full scope of Martin's intent becomes menacingly clear when he confronts Steven with a long-forgotten transgression that will shatter his domestic bliss forever. The synopsis itself sounds like a great dramatic mystery, but director Lanthimos seems to like to take the artistic,esoteric route to delivering messages about life. For one, pretty much everyone in the film talks like they're from the plan
