Alain E @AlainE 7h The first half builds nicely, then the script goes off the rails. Tomas in the beginning maybe he didn’t realize that he fled the perceived danger without trying to help his family. Later on he goes to the other extreme acknowledging all type of transgressions including infidelity and sobbing uncontrollably. When he loses the card key he never thinks to go to the reception to get a replacement but waits outside the locked door for hours. Apparently there no other occupants on the whole floor of the hotel! For some reason the family decides to go ski the last day in dense fog with two little children. The wife is almost lost and has to be carried by the husband, but once they reach the kids she is able to walk just fine. The husband’s brother also turns insensitive to his girlfriend and essentially break up. In the final scene the group of visitors abandon the bus and walk down the mountain. Some type of symbolism? The lesson: avoid ski vacations if you want to keep your family intact. See more Mina K. @vitaminq May 12 This is a very realistic, disgusting, pitiful, but somewhat funny story. And it's a new style. No judgement and stereotypes in the movie. The audience will think what they would be and what they would do after watching this. All characters have complexity in them like in real life. I liked it. See more Eye C @ECinc Jan 26 An interesting movie that plays with the human instincts. Good one, and it gives the opportunity to talk about it. See more D G @go_DG_go Jan 6 Thought provoking film on family and gender roles. Beautifully shot and acted. Didn't find any of the characters endearing and felt the redemption was abrupt and unearned. See more Marco L @decatur555 10/26/2024 Una familia aparentemente perfecta se enfrenta a una situación extrema que pone a prueba sus lazos y sus valores. Un acto instintivo e inesperado por parte del padre desata una serie de tensiones emocionales que afectan profundamente la dinámica familiar. La película explora con maestría temas como el egoísmo, la fragilidad de las relaciones y el choque entre las expectativas sociales y los impulsos humanos. Con una dirección sobria y escenas visualmente impactantes, el relato se siente incómodamente real. Una obra que obliga al espectador a reflexionar sobre cómo reaccionaríamos ante lo inesperado. Una de las grandes películas de 2014, las relaciones familiares, las relaciones personales, todo, a debate.

The score is magnificent, all the performances are on point (Ebba is excellent), + it’s got epic meltdown scenes and beautiful shots of the alps.  See more Read all reviews
