You can tell the truth. Pen a great script. Enact it flawlessly. Do superb work with a camera. Outdo your peers. And yet: STILL be maligned by the masses. Who like overt violence, pointless narratives, jerking cameras, & lots of explosions. Watch KILLING OF A SACRED DEER. Read the average review. And you’ll see this is so.

Very interesting film, definitely not for everyone and I don't think it ever found its (small) audience. Very stylized direction, great actors, surreal/horror?/psychodrama... I view it as a metaphor for all the joys that alcoholism can bring to a family, but that's just me, as they say. There's no drunkeness, just the potential after-effects. Also a statement perhaps about art finding beauty in tragedy? Quite operatic, for a drama acted in oddly dispassionate monotones, as if the characters' dialog is the subtitling for an opera. Very grim, and as I say, not for everyone. And I'll watch anything with The St. John Passion in the score, however briefly. Thus endeth my verdict.

"The Killing Of A Sacred Deer" is awesome at examining consequences, the impact of mortal intrusions, of tracing sociologies of shifted perceptions. When Dr. Stephen Murphy(Colin Farrell) meets Martin Lang(Barry Keoghan) for a brief meal, the focused strangeness begins. There is horror, and real causes, but great wonder is construed in the desperate dialogues circumscribing the injustices.
Anna Murphy(Nicole Kidman) is an opthalmologist, and her understanding as a loving mother doesn't distress her professional postures and articulate acknowledgements, but her gift is witnessed when she takes action, then her wisdom invokes provocative discussion. Dr. Murphy is very severe in presenting a serious and unhumorous dignity, and Colin Farrell, playing Dr. Murphy, is a divine messenger. His performance is an illumination into awarenesses of behavior in the wakes of figures tragic.
Martin smites Dr. Stephen Murphy with his impertinent talking, and Dr. Murphy, with the same slightly sad straight face, smacks Martin very hard. The 'sacred deer' in the events is any curse, or inexplicable happening which isn't given intellectual scrutiny but drives destinies. As situations are realized, the kids, Kim(Raffey Cassidy), and Robert(Sunny Suljic), become paralytic, also they contribute strange dialogues in the instituting frustrations. When there are no conclusive medical remedies the words of Martin mean that the antagonist is more than a metaphorical messenger.
In the way that loneliness by gulfs removes sociability and light heartedness, this intruder is the interceptor of peace and mildness. Problems are negotiated in rage, then we buckle in complete helplessness. Alicia Silverstone plays Martin's mother, and has a short appearance. Raffey Cassidy and Sunny Suljic are fantastic, in retelling a tragic tale they are both distinct forms of orbiting troubles but emenate picture ripe young teenagery.

1.0 out of 5 stars The problem isn't that it's slow; it's that it's ultimately illogical and meaningless
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018

Firstly, I don't mind slow-building horror, (so don't assume "this person just doesn't like that there weren't more jumpscares and cheap thrills!") For example, I loved "Hereditary" and the way all the foreshadowing and symbolism made sense in the end. Random events turned out to not be random. It was one of those films that became more impressive on the second viewing

"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" was the opposite of this. There was no explanation for a lot of the weirdness or for why the characters acted the way they did. It was like someone decided "I want to make a weird, uncomfortable movie about the Greek tragedy" without actually giving an account for why things were so weird

Only Martin was supposed to be psychologically disturbed. And yet all the characters acted in strange ways on at least a few occasions in which no mentally sound human would act. Like why would Kim still want to be with the boy who was trying to murder her and her family? "Well, if you do some mental gymnastics, the dad kind of killed them by killing Martin's dad". But for real, even if Steve 'started it', Martin was still clearly disturbed. Why would Kim want to be with him after seeing his nature?

There were three main things that should have had explanations:

--SPOILER START--
1. How did they get away with killing Bob? Their house was in a nice, quiet neighborhood with other houses right next to theirs. Neighbors would have heard the four / five gunshots and called the police. Bob went to school. Teachers and the principal would have noticed his absence. The police would have started an investigation into how and why this boy went missing, and the gunshots would have immediately made the family a prime suspect

The ending made it look like it was all over: Martin got the sacrifice he wanted, and the family could move on. In reality, at least Steve would have been imprisoned for murder. There was no explanation as to why this didn't happen. The consequence of murdering Bob was just a huge loose end

2. The family's reaction to the death: basically there was none. Kim seemed perfectly happy about everything and smiled at Martin in the end. It would have made sense if she was a sociopath or if she hated her brother. But since she claimed to and acted like she cared about him earlier, why she was so nonchalant about his death made no sense

Same with Anna especially, since Bob was shown as being her favorite throughout the film. There was no explanation for all of their sudden blunted affect. Why did none of the characters act like regular humans? It was either weirdness just for the sake of being weird, or the creators did a poor job of depicting how real people in their right mind would have responded to the whole situation. They all acted like sociopaths or autistic people. It would have been fine if there were some reason for it. But there wasn't, and Martin was supposed to be the only person with mental issues
--SPOILER END--

3. Martin randomly had the power to make people sick and heal them with his mind. It's amazing the amount of reviews saying "it's creepy because it's something that could happen in real life!" Um, no, probably not. Did they miss the very important fact that Martin is apparently some kind of psychic?

That element was just random, since there were no other supernatural elements and no foreshadowing. It just seemed like the creators right at the end were like, "okay, how is this kid going to be able to make these people sick, and then just heal them when he wants to? How would he have access to or know about a poison that does something like this? What poison would have the potential to bring someone to the point of death, and yet be able to be reversed immediately at any point before the person dies?"

"Meh, that's too hard. Let's just give him magic powers instead"

This wants to be a cult film, Colin Farrell's performance is as stiff as a board. This is obviously the director's attempt at strangeness. Reviews state that one should watch it several times to better understand it. I don't want to ever watch it again it was so disturbing. Brazil and Blade Runner are pleasant to watch, but improve greatly with repeated views. Important things that enrich the film may be missed on an initial view. 3 stars is generous.

not being a fan of the horror genre, where i think this film lands, i'm glad i watched it (twice!) - icy production - cast is great, Farrell, Kidman, Keoghan & Silverstone deliver (although more sympathetic here, Keoghan's role isn't all that far from the character he played in SALTBURN) - odd of me to admit, i would watch it again

"The Killing of a sacred deer" (Die Tötung eines heiligen Hirsches) ist nach dem oscarnominierten "Dogtooth", dem wenig beachteten Nachfolger "Alpis" und der sonderbaren Dystopie "The Lobster" der vierte Spielfilm des griechischen Autorenfilmers Giorgos Lanthimos.
Nachdem bereits sein verfasstes Drehbuch für "The Lobster" im Jahr 2015 bei der Vergabe des europäischen Filmpreises gewann, erhielt er gemeinsam mit seinem Kompagnon Efthymis Filippou für "The Killing of a sacred deer" bei den Filmfestspielen in Cannes ebenfalls die Auszeichnung für das beste Drehbuch. Den Stoff für den Film entlehnten die beiden Autoren aus der Antike. Nach der Sage hat Agamemnon den geliebten Hirsch von Artemis getötet. Er verlangt von diesem Gerechtigkeit durch ein gleichwertiges Opfer - Agamemnon soll seine geliebte Tochter Iphigenie töten.

Dabei führt der Regisseur den Zuschauer in eine scheinbar heile, fast schon sterile Welt des angesehenen Herzchirurgen Steven Murphy (Colin Farrell). Der lebt scheinbar glücklich mit seiner Frau Anna (Nicole Kidman), einer Augenärztin. Tochter Kim (Raffey Cassidy) steckt mitten in der Pubertät und der kleine Bob (Sunny Suljic) will sich partout seine langen Haare nicht schneiden lassen.
"The Killing of a sacred Deer" beginnt aber mit einem Bild aus dem Operationssaals des Vaters, dort wird ein offenes schlagendes Herz gezeigt. Das Bild wird untermalt von sakralen Klängen aus Johann Sebastian Bachs "Stabat Mater".
Der Chirurg ist mit dem Anästhesisten Matthew (Bill Camp) befreundet, nach der geglückten OP unterhalten sich die beiden Männer auf dem Korridor des Krankenhauses über Uhrenarmbänder. Dabei wirkt Steven sehr kühl, sehr beherrscht - genau wie sein gesamtes Umfeld.
Interessanterweise scheint Steven mit einem Jungen namens Martin (Barry Keoghan) befreundet zu sein, denn die beiden treffen sich öfters am Ufer des Flusses. Steven macht Martin Geschenke, der freut sich darüber und auch über eine Umarmung seines väterlichen Freundes. Irgendwann lädt Steven den Jungen, der seinen Vater verlor, auch zu sich nach Hause ein. Dort macht er Bekanntschaft mit den Kids und Kim verliebt sich in den ruhigen und coolen Jungen.
Dieser Einladung folgt auch prompt Martins Einladung zum Essen bei sich zu Hause. Die Mutter (Alicia Silverstone) scheint auch Gefallen an Steven zu haben. Es sieht so aus als wolle Martin den verheirateten Steven mit seiner Mom verkuppeln. Die Beziehung der beiden ungleichen Freunde fühlt sich mehr und mehr unwohl an.
Kurze Zeit später wacht der kleine Bob auf und kann seine Beine nicht mehr bewegen. Die Eltern vermuten sofort eine psychische Störung, die bald wieder behoben werden kann.
Doch zeitgleich lässt Martin die Katze aus dem Sack: Bei einem Treffen in der Cafeteria verlangt er von Steven, der aus Fahrlässigkeit den Tod seines Vaters anscheinend mitverschuldet hat, ein gleichwertiges Opfer. Steven soll ein Familienmitglied töten, ansonsten würden alle qualvoll sterben, zuerst Lähmung, dann Appettitlosigkeit, dann Blut in den Augen. Am Ende der Tod und tatsächlich sind das die Symptome, die bei Bob auftauchen und für die es medizinisch keine Erklärung gibt. Wenig später sackt auch Kim während einer Probe mit ihrem Schülerchor zusammen und ist unfähig zu gehen....

Ein beklemmender Film, der seine Logik brutal weiterführt und mit dem Jungschauspieler Barry Keoghan ein großes Schauspieler-Talent präsentiert, der sich mühelos an der Seite der beiden Stars Nicole Kidman und Colin Farrell als Zerstörer des familären Glücks restlos überzeugen kann. Dabei wird nie so ganz klar wie Martin es schafft, dass die Kids plötzlich diese Lähmungen aufweisen, die sie am Gehen hindern, geschweige denn das Blut, dass irgendwann am Ende des Films aus den Augen von Bob rinnt. Es muss Parapsychologie sein, die den Jungen befähigt erfolgreich der kalte, mitleidlose Rachegott zu sein. Denn er zieht seinen Plan durch und ordnet auch seine Liebe zu Kim diesem teuflischen Plan unter. Dabei reicherte Lanthimos seine Geschichte mit reichlich schwarzem Humor an. Der antike Stoff besteht auch den Transport in die heutige Zeit hervorragend, denn es geht um Gleichgewicht - aber auch um Schuld und Verdrängung. Der Zuschauer merkt sehr schnell, noch vor Martins teuflischer Offenbarung, dass Stevens Welt nicht so in Ordnung ist wie sie scheint. Lanthimos Thriller kann man durchaus auch dem Horrorgenre zuordnen, denn der Bösewicht Martin scheint eine Macht zu haben, gegen die sein Gegner - die Familie - einfach machtlos ist und der erst klein beigeben wird, wenn der Chirurg zur Sühne bereit ist. Ob Martin es fertig bringt einen seiner Lieben zu opfern ? Jedenfalls hat Giorgos Lanthimos trotz "Dogtooth" und "The Lobster" sein bisheriges Meisterwerk geschaffen.

KILLING OF A SACRED DEER ist wirklich ein besonderer Film, der irgendwie nicht so recht in ein Schema passen möchte. So etwas wie hier hat man einfach noch nicht gesehen. Einerseits passiert gar nicht so viel und die Geschehnisse sind recht banal. Andererseits ist das alles so wirr und faszinierend, dass man regelrecht in den Film hineingezogen wird. So ging es mir zumindest. Was passiert eigentlich? Die Geschichte ist recht schnell erzählt: Ein Patient eines Herzchirurgen ist während einer Operation gestorben. Aus schlechtem Gewissen trifft sich der Chirurg mit dem Sohn des Verstorbenen. Dieser scheint sehr höflich und zuvorkommend zu sein und freundet sich zusehends mit der Familie des Arztes an. Bis eines Tages der Sohn der Familie aus unerklärlichen Gründen plötzlich seine Beine nicht mehr bewegen kann. Kann das wirklich die Rache des Jungen sein, der seinen Vater verloren hat? Die Inszenierung dieser Geschichte ist fantastisch. Allein durch den Einsatz von Musik schafft es KILLING OF A SACRED DEER immer wieder für Gänsehautmomente zu sorgen. Sein langsames Tempo und seine unfassbar wirren Dialoge erschaffen zusammen mit den grandiosen schauspielerischen Leistungen einen fantastischen Film für den der Begriff "Arthouse-Kino" erfunden worden sein könnte. Natürlich muss man sich darauf einlassen und hilfreich ist es dabei sicher ein Faible für Kubrick, Lynch und co. zu haben.
