Overview
- A free advance showing at Los Angeles’ Culver Theater required attendees to be bald, with a barber on site to shave heads for entry, drawing fans who embraced the stunt.
- Emma Stone said shaving her head for the role was quick and fun but admitted to a last‑minute freak‑out before filming the scene, later calling the look liberating and weighing in playfully on the bald-only event.
- Rotten Tomatoes scores hover around 90% as critics praise performances and craft but differ on the film’s tone and overall payoff, with some reviews calling it divisive.
- Focus Features opens the film in select theaters on Oct. 24 before expanding nationwide on Oct. 31 as the marketing leans into experiential promotions.
- Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the English‑language reimagining of Save the Green Planet! reunites him with Stone, who plays a biotech CEO kidnapped by conspiracy‑obsessed men.
