A highly disturbing 1 & done. Seems related to Zone Of Intrest, a study of evil unleashed by "normal" people. Zero violence, still repulsive
Slow, disturbing and quite depressing and yet very human
Linearly depressive movie. It has a goal to make you feel disturbed, you will feel to your bones.
A voyeuristic experience into a very grim and disturbing story. Not my favorite from Haneke but still beautifully made.
Intentionally boring in order to make the ending impactful. Unfortunately that just means the majority of the movie is very dull
Bleak to the point of numb. I get what it’s going for, but watching it felt like a chore, not an experience.
Excellent debut film, very powerful, Haneke doesn't hace mercy.
Honestly wasn’t too into it. However, some might like the slow pace as the payoff makes it worth it.
A seemingly ordinary day in the life of suburban family. But somewhere in the final act the realization will set in and its stomach churning
powerful, straightforward, raw
