Critic Roger Ebert praised Lanthimos for "his command of visuals and performances".

The Associated Press described the film as "Disturbing and at times startlingly brutal, the film will alienate those who seek genteel fare at the art house. But its edgy integrity and distinctive atmosphere should win fans in some corners, particularly among those who admire the less tongue-in-cheek work of Lars von Trier."

2010

In 2010, he acted in and co-produced Attenberg, a Greek drama film directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari.

The film was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival and won the Jury Prize.

Chris Nashawatay of Entertainment Weekly praised the film, saying that "Lanthimos' films aren't for everyone. They're deadpan and almost clinically detached. At times they feel like dispatches from a distant alien planet."

It premiered at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival where it competed for the Palme d'Or.

2018

At the 75th Venice Film Festival, he presented the period black comedy, The Favourite (2018), where it won the Grand Jury Prize.
