Although this film is technically well made and the performances are top-notch, there's literally no point to it. Not only that, I was expecting a very disturbing, difficult to watch experience. Thankfully, I can report that it is neither. Yes, there are some uncomfortable moments, but there's nothing here that qualifies as nightmare material. Overall the pacing is surprisingly slow. That works for the buildup, and there is one excruciating long take about 2/3 through the film (excruciating due to it's length, not it's violence because there is none). Speaking of violence, the vast majority of it occurs off screen, which surprised me for a film that is allegedly a horror film that is difficult to watch (or so say many reviewers). Even the one nude scene takes place off screen. It's as though the filmmaker is pre-censoring himself because he is hyper-sensitive to how his film will be perceived. Worst of all, the victims here fall into tired and predictable patterns of behavior all too often seen in derivative horror films. No reasonable person would behave as these characters do at various points of the film, which dilutes the audience's sympathy because we are questioning their rationality under the circumstances. Overall I was expecting something very different: more violent, more psychologically challenging, more emotionally disturbing. I received none of those, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Bottom line: do not put this at the top of your list, and reconsider whether it belongs in your list at all.

This is a complex and challenging watch, and nothing can truly prepare you for the experience crafted by masterful director and writer Michael Haneke. Funny Games is not a typical story with predictable outcomes, and from the very beginning, it makes it clear that anything can happen and there are no limits. The film is unpredictable, uncomfortable, and heavy, with many moments that are flat-out shocking and jaw-dropping. It is not just a complicated watch; it is an unforgettable film experience that, depending on the viewer, could easily be seen as a horror film.
