Full Plot Details

After the untimely death of 16-year-old Martin's father on the operating table, little by little, a deep and empathetic bond begins to form between him and the respected cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr Steven Murphy. At first, expensive gifts and then an invitation for dinner will soon earn the orphaned teenager the approval of Dr Steven's perfect family, even though right from the start, a vague, yet unnerving feeling overshadows Martin's honest intent. And then, unexpectedly, the idyllic family is smote by a fierce and pitiless punishment, while at the same time, everything will start falling apart as the innocents have to suffer. In the end, as the sins of one burden the entire family, only an unimaginable and unendurable decision that demands a pure sacrifice can purge the soul. But to find catharsis, one must first admit the sin.

Movie Reviews

Bloody Disgusting - 10/10 by Trace ThurmanI loved all 120 of its excruciatingly unsettling minutes.
Times (UK) - 10/10 by Kevin MaherDifficult, provocative, and consistently amusing. Almost perfect.
London Evening Standard - 10/10 by David SextonWelcome back to the world of Yorgos Lanthimos - a bit like Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, except genuinely nasty.
Caimán Cuadernos de Cine - 10/10 by Juanma Ruiz[The Killing of a Sacred Deer] is elevated to the nth degree, to the point where it's difficult not to feel alienated by what the film offers. [Full review in Spanish]
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Chris BarsantiA tightly throttled work of cringing comedy and deadpan devastation.
TIME Magazine - 10/10 by Stephanie ZacharekDense with layers of biblical lore and Greek tragedy, it's like a cake that's impressively tall but also unpalatably dry.
Irish Times - 10/10 by Donald ClarkeAfter the gateway drug that was The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos returns to Cannes with the full-strength, unfiltered version of his merciless aesthetic.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 10/10 by Robbie CollinWhen absurdism feels this wrong, you know it’s being done right.
La Jornada - 10/10 by Leonardo Garcia TsaoIt's the most solemn film of Lanthimos to date and misses the irreverent mood of his previous Dogtooth (2009). [Full review in Spanish]
The Skinny - 10/10 by Joseph WalshYou'll feel deeply uncomfortable while watching, but in a twistedly enjoyable way.
