Film Influencer 2025 - Bugonia

Bugonia is a film I've been wanting to see for weeks. With Wicked, other big blockbusters this film has been pushed to the undesirable session times for a bit now. However today all the stars alighed for me to see a lunchtime session of this black comedy English-language remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet! 

Bugonia follows two young men who kidnap a powerful CEO, suspecting that she is secretly an alien who wants to destroy Earth. With a small lead cast, it's lead by CEO energy Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.

Bugonia has received generally positive reviews, with critics praising the performances of Plemons and Stone.

What did I think of a Sunday film following a wedding and some live, local music? See below the trailer for my score.

So TV has been taking up a big part of my viewing schedule as we head into summer slack. Sydney generally dies all December/January, so hopefully I have some more time to catch up with some fine cinema over the holidays.

However for now, this Emma Stone lead oddball film was far more enjoyable than her recent random, Showtime series, The Curse. I will pass this as it gave a good commentary on the recent back and forth of net zero discussions from our so called leaders.

3 Stars. Is there any film or TV series the USA will not copy from our amazing Korean friends. I am just awaiting them to give Demon Hunters a go! lol
