Here is My Movie Review of The Killing of A Sacred Deer

So basically what happens that you have this guy named Steve Murphy and he is this sergeant is trying to provide money for his family but then one day he made this teenager named Martin Lang who takes a creepy liking to him so Steven Murphy decides invite him over to us how to meet his family and when Martin Lang got there he really likes Everyone in Steven Murphy's Family And he wants to be apart of his family because his dad recently died weeks ago and he decides to manipulate Steven's family to have him at their own but Steven Murphy figured out there's something very much weird with Martin Lang And he want to figure out what is going on and it's up Steven Murphy to figure out what is going on with martin Lang and why he is obsessed with his family and that's basically what the story is for this film. I have to say the storyline this movie is very weird but really interesting and it's giving me some vibes to the movie 1 Hour photo with Robin Williams because in that film The character that Robin Williams played in that film Seymour w a really creepy stalker who is trying to insert himself into the random family that he believed that he belongs to. 

Now a lot of people say that the acting in this movie is really bad. But to be honest I don't really agree with that statement because I still think that all the actors are giving it they're all and I can tell that all of them are giving terrific performances. If you want to see a movie with really Bad acting Go watch the film The Circle because that film most of the actors did not do a terrific job in that film at all. 

Colin Farrell plays Steven Murphy in the film. I have to say he still does a remarkable job as the character.  Now Steven Murphy as a character is really incredible because you can see this is a guy that is trying to provide for his family by working at this hospital but then he soon Starts to be creeped out by Martin Lang who clearly has a creepy obsession with him and family if he wanted to figure out why he is stalking him and driving him crazy. Probably the best moment with Steven Murphy where he tells Martin Lang that he's not allowed to go to the hospital without calling him first and not only is it really creepy but it makes sense because you can clearly see that Steven Murphy is clearly creeped out by Martin Lang. It is probably the most Creepiest scene of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Nicole Kidman, Raffey Cassidy, and  Barry Keoghan Is perfect. 

Nicole Kidman plays Steven Murphy's wife Anna Murphy in the film. I have to say she still does a spectacular job as the character. Now Anna Murphy as the character is really interesting because you can see that she really cares for her husband Steven Murphy and she wants him to make her and the rest of the family happy And wants to help him figure out what is going on with Martin Lang. Probably the best moment with Anna Murphy is when she first meets Martin Lang And he gives her flowers and you can tell that she really likes him as a guest at her house and not only is it really interesting but it makes sense because it shows that she really cares about Martin Lang. But also sets up his obsession with her and her family. It is probably the most important moment of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Colin Farrell is excellent.

Raffey Cassidy plays Steven Murphy's daughter Kimberly Kim Murphy in the film. I have to say she still does a magnificent job as the character. Now Kimberly Kim Murphy As a character is really Interesting because it shows that she really cares for Martin Lang and starts to develop feelings toward each other so she starts to fall in love with him and they start to spend time with each other. But as the film goes on she starts to question what is going on with Martin Lang and why he is obsessed with her and her family? Probably the best moment with Kimberly Kim Murphy Is where she and Martin Lang are walking and she starts singing to him and not only is really powerful and emotional scenes but it makes sense because it shows that Kimberly Kim Murphy really cares about Martin Lang. It is probably one of the strongest moments of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Colin Farrell is brilliant. 

However, the absolute big standout of the entire film is  Barry Keoghan as Martin Lang. What I like about his performance is that he can show that he can give a really creepy and suspenseful performance. Now the character of Martin Lang is very disturbing because at first he just visited Steven  Murphy But add the film govan he starts to become obsessed with them to the point that he wants to be a part of his family and that's what makes him such a really intense but really interesting villain because His motivation is really disturbing because he wants steven Murphy to be his dad but unfortunately rejects his offer so martin Lang the size to get Steven Murphy to kill his entire family to avenge his father's death and it's pre messed up because he's gone from liking Steven Murphy as a friend to straight up psychologically torturing and stalking him and his entire family. Probably the best moment with Martin Lang Is when He tells Steven Murphy why he didn't come to the restaurant to see him and not only is it a really nail biting and suspenseful scene but it makes sense because Martin Lang waited for him all day to come to the restaurant and he never showed up. It is probably the most creepy and disturbing moment of the entire film. I think Martin Lang is up there with The Colonel from War for Planet of the Apes as one of the best villains of 2017. The chemistry between him and Colin Farrell is fantastic.

The directing by Yorgos Lanthimos It's incredible because what I like about his directing And that he does a brilliant job of Steven Murray really sympathetic because this is a guy that's going through a lot stress he has to provide for his family by working at a hospital and also has to protect his family from this really  crazy lunatic named Martin Lang who wants to insert himself into the family. I also like how he kind of takes the story of 1 Hour Photo but makes it unique by Having the teenager be the creepy stalker and not the main character. I thought it was a really interesting twist on the original film. I think it is really terrific of how he did that. 

So in conclusion I still really enjoyed it because it had a really interesting and disturbing storyline about a man trying to protect his family from a crazy obsessed teenage stalker. I still think both Colin Farrell and Barry Keoghan  Play off each other perfectly. I still think this movie is up there with Life with Jake Gyllenhaal as one of the most underrated films of 2017. I still think Martin is up there with Vincent More from Chappie as one of the most underrated villains of the 2010s. I think this movie is up there with The Captive with Ryan Reynolds at one of the most underrated A24 films. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you enjoy the movie 1922 with Thomas Jane. Then I'm sure you're going to like this one. I give this movie a 10/10.
