Seen during the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
This probably isn't the best review you'll read as it's been a while since I've posted anything. However, for this film, I'm happy to make the effort.
Words cannot describe how uncomfortable I felt watching the film. The social awkwardness, miscommunication and remote setting make this a very uncomfortable movie to watch. Not to mention the last 30 minutes, where the film turns from a psychological thriller to a twisted horror with horrendous graphic violence (I mean that in the good sense).
I was not yet familiar with Christian Tafdrup's work, but he is definitely putting himself on the map with this film.
Suitable for: People who don't want to sleep at night and have had a lot of fun watching movies like Hereditary and Midsommar.
Not suitable for: People who are going to watch this with their partner. You will get bruises and tears will flow.
PS. I'm from the Netherlands myself, and we're not that bad. As long as you do what we say.
