Swinton pulls triple duty here, most prominently appearing as dance choreographer Madame Blanc, while also slinking into mind-meltingly impressive old-man makeup to play psychotherapist Josef Klemperer, and finally, she gets into a full body suit as the grotesque witch Mother Markos.

Each of the roles feels distinctive and unpredictable, with Swinton once again proving her ability to effortlessly disappear beneath a character and not draw attention to herself.

She's by far the best thing in the movie and the anchor that it so desperately needed.
