While watching The Killing of a Sacred Deer with friends in Scotland, the city and suburban imagery seemed familiar and at the very least midwestern. After a little research, it became apparent that much of the film was set and photographed in Cincinnati. The story is based on the ancient Greek tragedy Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides. While we and others may not have enjoyed the film, it's nice to know that the Queen City was depicted favourably. Filmed in Greater Cincinnati in fall 2016, The Killing of a Sacred Deer features many high profile landmarks throughout the city. The Christ Hospital, John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge and Fountain Square make appearances in the trailer.
