The film is centred on a broken man who loses himself in conspiracy theories to cope with his tragic circumstances, but it&rsquo;s also so much more than that. It features outstanding performances by Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone, as well an absolutely kidney shredding score.</p> <p>Looking up the film for this post and I see it was nominated for Best Picture this year. I&rsquo;m not surprised. Definitely a great watch, having known nothing about the film going in beyond the one sentence description.</p> <p><em>Bugonia</em> is available to stream on Amazon Prime in Canada and probably elsewhere.</p>
