This movie was very slow and very detailed and I like that. Not like most movies and unique as well but the music sounded like a horror movie. It also made me feel like I was watching the shinning movie and constsantly waiting for…

Cinematography - excellent, lighting - excellent, production values - high, but this is trilingual (at least), and I don't expect most Americans liked it. I liked it quite a bit, but was annoyed by the slow pace, lack of plot, and inept…

I was surprised by the perverted Swedish sense of humor. To cast a Atlantic cod face actress as a vamp and seducer - priceless.

Stephen Holden made this a Critics Pick and wrote what I consider an excellent review. He was called out by one commenter who took issue with characterizing the family as middle class,; these were elites at a gorgeous expensive Alpine…

It was VERY VERY slow, and not at all funny, but rather distressing. Not bad but really distressing and NOT entertaining. I was very disappointed as it had little of the "wickedly funny" description. I would not recommend it except as a…

👇 Don't be fooled, it has subtitles, and also an alternate soundtrack in English. You do have to learn how to operate your DVD playing machine, though.

Engrossing from start to finish and deserving of all its critical accolades. A great story-line deserving of the discussion it generates amongst couples is accompanied by meticulous production values and directorial choices that put me in…

Talky dissection of a couple's relationship after an action by the husband, with very little action and boring characters - I quit watching half way through

Totally agree with Booksmile on 2017/10/29 comment. I was too, misled by the title and the description summary. I do not see the funny part and I think 159 minutes is way too long. Most disappointing foreign movie I've even watched.

A good, thought-provoking Swedish movie! It raises questions we rarely ask or discuss! Definitely, not a comedy! A serious drama with some amusing scenes! A relationship-family drama! Make sure to watch the Interview with the…

I liked this movie. Excellent example of how women have and continue to protect male egos.

This movie is the embodiment of nervous laughter in an uncomfortable situation. Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones sweetheart, Tormund Giantsbane) deserves an Oscar just for his reaction shots.

I would agree this is not an outright comedy. What it is is a very well done family drama. And dramas can be punctuated with moments of humor (most effective when unexpected), as in this film. I found it incredibly taut throughout, with…

A surprisingly cerebral film.

This is not a bad film, but equally not particularly a comedy. Not even a dark comedy either. The overriding mood (perhaps bitterness) and pacing of the film reduces the 'subtle humor.' Had I known this I would not have added it to my…

Not a disaster or action movie as the synopsis led me to expect, it's simply a slow and painful to watch family drama. The camera work was distracting in its lack of movement--the way it often didn't change angle or zoom to follow the…

The reverse of a superhero film. In 2017, men are supposed to show their loving and vulnerable sides, but are still expected to put up a brave, infallible facade. So imagine the position of a Type A business- and family man, who turns tail…

This is a 2014 Swedish drama directed by Ruben Östlund. It follows the marital tension resulting from an avalanche during which the husband is believed by his wife to have prioritized his own escape over the safety of his family. I can…

I thoroughly enjoyed this thought-provoking movie. It maps the far-reaching consequences of a split-second decision by a husband and father to protect himself rather than his family when faced with impending disaster from an avalanche. …

This was the blackest comedy of the year!! 😂

The jacket of the film describes this as a comedy. I would classify this as anything but. IT was terrible from the word go. The writers just tried too hard to tackle too many things at once, like how it is a well-known fact that men act…

Mind numbingly boring and slow paced. Half of this movie could have been cut and you wouldn't have missed a thing. To many bathroom scenes. The most I have ever seen in one movie of teeth brushing and urinating. Two hours lost.

Relationship drama. Marriage devolvement after a singular insightful circumstance. Everyone wore their emotions on their sleeve in the acting department. Its easy to see how this movie stole the Jury Prize at Cannes.
