Collette

Collette throws this line of dialogue out so excitedly that it feels almost insignificant, little more than a joke that tells us about her character’s offbeat sensibilities.

Equally preposterous is Collette’s Ylfa, who is hellbent on perfecting sauces and dressings, which she sees as the highest sensory experience one can have.

Ylfa’s cockamamie hobby is ridiculous, but she’s no less dangerous than her husband, and Collette is the perfect extension of Ruffalo’s hyper-committed, hilarious performance.

As for Ylfa, a newly concocted character, she exists just to squeeze a talent of Collette’s caliber and comedic chops into the plot.

Co-starring Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo, the film — both an existential nightmare and absurdist comedy — taps into Bong’s signature themes of class, power and exploitation, examining a system that treats some lives as utterly disposable.
