Watch this if you want to ruin the rest of your day.
It is one of those movies that builds so slowly but that you know there is something entirely wrong going on. And so many dumb choices are made by certain characters that you can just sense the inevitable.
I don't know enough about central European cultural differences to care about the purported nuances depicted here. All I gleaned from the film is that distrust in others is by far the safest default. And I am fine with that universal truth over what is supposedly the subtext here.
The acting is typically minimal for art-house/foreign cinema. The baddies are vile. The innocents are doe-eyed.
The movie has an elevated skin-crawling tension that it is not pleasant to experience. The twist and denouement are standard Scandinavian bleakness to the highest degree. There is good creepy and then there is this.
Ninus deserved a smarter family.
