Overview
- Yorgos Lanthimos’ English-language remake stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and newcomer Aidan Delbis in a chamber thriller about two cousins who abduct a pharmaceutical CEO they believe is an alien.
- After a multi-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film begins a U.S. platform release before expanding to the U.K. and India on Oct. 31.
- Critics commend the leads—especially Delbis’ breakout turn—while differing on pacing, thematic clarity and the mix of dark comedy and social critique.
- Experiential promotions include screenings granting free tickets to attendees who shave their heads, mirroring Stone’s shaved-head appearance in the film.
- The movie is currently theatrical-only with no streaming date announced, though outlets report it is likely to land on Peacock in early 2026.
