URGENT UPDATE: The critically acclaimed sci-fi comedy Bugonia is set to launch on digital platforms TOMORROW, November 25, and will be available on DVD and Blu-ray beginning December 23. Despite a disappointing box office run of just $32 million, this film has garnered significant praise from both critics and audiences alike.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Emma Stone, Bugonia follows two conspiracy-obsessed cousins who abduct a powerful CEO, believing she is part of an alien race determined to destroy humanity. As they trap her in their basement, the film escalates into a chaotic battle of wits filled with unpredictable twists and dark humor.
Critics have been raving about the film, with Collider reviewer Ross Bonaime awarding it an 8/10 and praising Stone and co-star Jesse Plemons for delivering “two performances of the year.” The film also features newcomer Aidan Delbis, whose role has been described as essential to the storytelling.
With 87% and 84% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, Bugonia is being recognized as one of the most underrated films of the year. Viewers who purchase the home release from participating retailers will also gain access to an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette titled “The Birth of the Bees: The Making of Bugonia.”
What’s next for Stone and Lanthimos? After three collaborations in recent years, both are reportedly taking a step back. Lanthimos has indicated a desire for a break following the intense production schedules of Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness, and Bugonia. Meanwhile, Stone is attached to a new musical comedy project by Jesse Eisenberg, though specific release details remain under wraps.
As anticipation builds for Bugonia‘s home release, fans should prepare for a wild, hilarious ride that promises to keep them on the edge of their seats. Don’t miss the chance to experience this unique sci-fi adventure when it becomes available TOMORROW!
