Audience Member Typical Alex van Warmerdam's noir & quirkiness. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting movie that really showcases the interactions of people pitted against each other for the common good or just to keep their own sanity. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The scenery and composition of the shots is beautiful (as it seems to be in all these independent European movies), but in the end you're not really sure what exactly is going on, or what the movie wanted to say. It's about some lady who has a family who play as her servants (even her own brother is playing the dog, which is incredibly weird). They never really explain how or why this family got this way and we find out they continue on because they are waiting for some inheritance she promised to leave them. All the time the film takes us through these surreal characters and situations yet its ambitions as a piece of storytelling are nothing surreal or in any way striking, just bland and dark. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Quirky, darkly funny Dutch comedy. Moves along at a cracking pace, and has some good social commentary along the way. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Another masterpiece from both the most talented and underrated currently active Dutch director Alex van Warmerdam. A hilarious dark comedy with some surreal elements and a stage play atmosphere, this didn't disappoint. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not sure what to make of this film -- and don't sympathise with the younger characters (Gonnie and Meier). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
