Greek writer and director Giorgos Lanthimos returns with another bizarre and original film that fails to live up to "Dogtooth," his stunning breakthrough film. A mysterious group that specializes impersonating the recently deceased for their families runs into trouble when one of its members takes her role too seriously. Lanthimos' offbeat and dark humor is evident in his utterly unique films. The expectations were high for this film which has its moments of brilliance but feels disjointed and lacks the punch of his previous film. 1001 Films' coverage of the SFIFF55 (San Francisco International Film Festival).
