Works perfectly as a trial run for any potential Lanthimos convertee. In a short 12 minute span we find ourselves confused, laughing and then scared, in that order. It takes a while for the horror of the scenario to truly set it. To me, there's something so powerful in it's themes of self-deprecation and self-percieved inadequacy. I think a lot of people compare themselves to others, but here we see how truly scary that concept can be when taken to it's logical conclusion. For being a horror short it sure does end up being quite reassuring.
