“Bugonia” is another outrageous film from cinema provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos, a five-time Oscar nominee. “Bugonia” is the fourth feature film collaboration of Emma Stone and Lanthimos, who directed Stone to a best actress Oscar win in “Poor Things.” In “Bugonia,” Stone plays Michelle Fuller, CEO of a multinational pharmaceutical company, which has been doing a drug trial study that included Sandy (Alicia Silverstone), mother of Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons). The experiment went awry and the mother is in a coma. Gatz, convinced Fuller is an alien intent on destroying the Earth, kidnaps Fuller. Paul Willistein of Lehigh Valley Press reviews the Crime Comedy Satire.
