LanthimosBugonia Wins Strong Praise at Telluride After Venice Bow

Telluride praise signals major awards momentum.

Overview

  • The film premiered in Venice on Aug. 28 and screened at Telluride over Labor Day weekend to upbeat responses from critics and audiences.
  • Reviewers highlight Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, with Plemons’ intense turn as a conspiracy‑minded beekeeper emerging as a festival talking point.
  • Newcomer Aidan Delbis is singled out for a striking screen debut that adds an emotional counterpoint to the leads.
  • Written by Will Tracy, the English‑language adaptation of Save the Green Planet! is described as a dark, absurdist satire of conspiratorial belief, corporate power and environmental anxiety.
  • Focus Features will release the film in U.S. theaters on Oct. 24, a date that positions it for fall awards consideration.
