Typical of Lanthimos' work

Everything is more than a little off-kilter in this world. By putting the subjects of conversations and many actions absurdly outside of the social norm, Lanthimos succeeds in creating a sense of unease in the viewer, and in making banal content feel forbidden. There are obsessive, repetitive discussions of trivialities like the preferred sort of watchband, or the appropriate quantity of body hair.

In the most perverse sense, Lanthimos films are comedies. In his films, laughter is generated by the transgression of the rules of behavior, language, and custom. An off-the-wall disregard for any norms results in a crazily absurd world where everything is backwards. Funny-strange becomes funny. In that way, Lanthimos violates his own cockeyed rules with “The Killing of a Sacred Deer.” It's a far grimmer film than he has made in the past, with the heaviness of torture and violence. Just when you think he's gone the limit with violations, he steps over one more line.

    Lance Moss’s movies always come first with this concept, but it’s not a problem. After watching two more movies, he gets used to routines. There is nothing deeper. After listening to his own commentary, I feel even more that I don’t understand why I want to talk about it. These stories are similar. The atmosphere of music photography can be contrasted. In fact, when can he stop stacking symbols, seemingly cool but actually acting hard, it is estimated that he will be able to make a better movie

    I said why Martin is so familiar, and I recommend everyone who sees him pretend to be unpleasant to watch stewed cocoa to relieve his gas. After the younger brother cut his hair, he felt that his father could play and shout to his sister, you vengeful bitch, what have u done? Whether you like the plot or not, you have to admit that the filming is on the horizontal line, but the male protagonist is really too embarrassed.
