It insists upon itself(I love it)

This film has some old martial arts vibes in the way characters dialogue with each other. And the lines that come out these characters mouths are very in line with the types of one liners you'd get from those films too. I didn't notice it the first time, but I think that's such a fantastic stylistic choice bc it's executed so well. The cinematography, the dialogue between characters, the lighting of characters eyes while they're talking. It's just so beautiful. & Gabriel feels like an old school martial arts movie villain. He has an anime, over the top-ness almost Looney tunes-ness that I enjoyed.

Queer. Fantastical. Whimsical. Dark. Hilarious. And it's very much Yorgos Lanthimos, for better or worse. Filled with so much life & has more to say about the patriarchy and capitalism than Barbie which the world seemed to love.
