“Cuckoo” Trailer, Clip, Images and Poster

Reluctantly, 17-year-old Gretchen, played by Hunter Schafer, leaves her American home to live with her father, played by Marton Csokas, who has just moved into a resort in the German Alps with his new family.

When they arrive at their future residence, Mr. König, played by Dan Stevens, Gretchen’s father’s boss, greets them and takes an inexplicable interest in Gretchen’s mute half-sister Alma.

Something doesn’t seem right in this tranquil vacation paradise. Strange noises and bloody visions plague Gretchen until she discovers a shocking secret concerning her family.

German director Tilman Singer shot on 35 mm, creating a gritty, edgy film.

Yorgos Lanthimos directed Kinds of Kindness, which he calls a triptych fable. It begins with the story of a man without a choice who tries to take control of his own life.

I am sure there is more to the story, but Lanthimos films appear skewed with abbreviated characters. As the reviews appear, the storyline becomes hashed out.

The cast includes Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.
