I'm not going to nitpick and be like "The book took place in Edinburgh Glasgow not London 
," but it's hard to judge the movie without comparing it to the source. While I don't think the novel's theme were very profound or new the film paint-by-numbers and the story very rushed. This is despite a 2¼ hour running time that felt flabby in the middle. And despite the film being about Bella's growth as a person it omits the book's epilogue. This is the only part from Bella's perspective and it changes how you view the entire story 
This is also probably the least funny Yorgos Lanthimos film I've seen. I did get one good laugh and involved a character calling someone r-slurred.

sean bean kills all the french and gets all the girls
it's not highbrow or artsy in the first place, so it can't really be ruined.
As for this Yorgos fellow... I watched the lobster and thought it was okay. Haven't bothered with anything else he's made
