Jesse Plemons is outstanding as a conspiracy-obsessed paranoiac who, with the help of his brother, kidnaps a powerful CEO (Emma Stone), believing she is an alien intent on destroying Earth. An inspired take on Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 South Korean satire Save the Green Planet!, Lanthimos’ madcap and uncompromising vision doesn’t disappoint, as events unfold with surprising, sometimes shocking, results.
