  inexplicably the best movie around featuring obsession and tennis despite not being about tennis even a little bit. Good reminder that human behavior should drive your film’s ideas, not the other way around

  Force Majeure 2014

  Watched 17 Feb 2025

  Aesthetic clarity and stability is boring and especially grating when doing “gotcha” satire. This is a very irritating movie - infrequently visually interesting, funny, incisive and almost never any of those things together.
