The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
Good acting, weak scenario
The acting was the best part of the movie. All the actors were playing incredibly, especially the young ones. They have adopted the style of Lanthimos' acting but they have evolved it and make it seem more normal. The scenario was not as strong as it was expected comparatively to his other movies and it was not eventually so relevant to the title. We are used to allegorical movies that you have to think again in order to find the purpose of it. That was a thing that I missed from this movie.
Park (2016)
Lack of plot
The movie pictures the everyday life of a group of young people who hung out at the abandoned Olympic Park in Athens. The director successfully shows the everyday life of people, their moderate homes and habits, on contrary with the pattern of idealization of characters and environment that many directors use, which is a feature that makes the movie realistic. In addition to this, the abandoned Park pictures the reality in Greece. Nevertheless, it lacks plot, because there was not particular focus on a story, we see that it focuses on story of the young couple and shows that the boy has family problems and the girl had an injury and she cant have a gym career anymore, but she doesn't develop it fully and there were not climax in the scenario. The direction was quite good, but it can be improved. I am not really sure if there was a deeper meaning in the movie and I didn't get it or if she was just trying to show the problems of young and abandoned facilities.
