What critics compared Human Desire to

The Killing of a Sacred Deer poster
Even Fritz Lang at his most fatalistic, in films like “ Scarlet Street” (1945) and “ Human Desire ” (1954), allowed his heroes some freedom, if only the freedom to fall for the wrong dame, but Lanthimos’s characters are in lockdown from the start.
