Y, Yorgos? Y? It’s a Greek tragedy! It’s magical realism! It’s horror!The Killing of a Sacred Deer is our second entry from Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (see Episode 8: The Favourite ) and, once again, proves to be a controversial one. In fact, Rebekah didn’t even finish this one, which is either a testament to her inability to deal with suspense or a masterful use of discomfort in filmmaking, depending on who you ask. We all liked this movie to varying degrees and for different reasons. Overall, we were into the performances and cinematography but felt the writing left something to be desired. If you like horror, stan Yorgos, or just plain want to be uncomfortable for two hours, this may be the movie for you. Just read up on it first so you know what you’re getting into. Motion Picture Pals is co-hosted by Cam Call , Rebekah Markillie , Joel Aleman , and producer Travis Lien .
