After leaving the theater my reaction was, “that’s it?”. With how some people were talking about this I was expecting more, or maybe my foreshadowing is just that damn good.
A solid film with great headliners, but all the praise should go to Abela. Perfect combination of snarky + sexy genius that added flair to the film. To me this was knives out meets CIA operatives, minus all the good twists.
Bro….what did I witness?
This was deeply unsettling. I don’t think a character has ever gotten under my skin like Peter did. Literally clenching my teeth at this mf. Haneke refuses to follow conventional thriller tropes, making for a polarizing watch. The violence( or lack thereof) feels disturbingly real and inescapable. Haneke definitely pushed my buttons with this one and my limits of how much suffering I’m willing to endure.
