Tension builds as a dinner party turns into an examination of classism and xenophobia. Perfect performances from Hayek and Lithgow.
Wild but boring. Not at all what I expected from the previews. A little disappointed
Pretty aimless and leaves a lot open to interpretation. Lots of great performances but it doesn’t add up to much
amazing if you imagine you're at the dinner party rather than watching a movie.
Very different and intriguing. Weird but I’m a good way
Unbelievably depressing with a remarkable performance from Hayek. My only complaint is that it gets a little too glaringly preachy.
Slow and all talk. Was briefly intrigued by premise but it lost me part way and never pulled me back
A lot of social comment. Great acting.
This is not my cup of tea
Such an odd movie, but I liked.
