Dustin Chang Floating World Non-descript glass and steel skyscrapers of Frankfurt are as much characters as the cold and calculating people who inhabit in Christoph Hochhäusler's take on Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008. It's the greed that breeds like a disease. Feb 14, 2024 Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine Several minor strands outside the adulterous relationship are severely tacked on and unresolved, testing our patience by distracting from the interesting emotional and thematic core of the film. Feb 13, 2020 Full Review Fernando F. Croce House Next Door The apocalyptic punchline achieves the kind of sickness-in-the-guts laceration Neil LaBute has been pursuing in vain for years.
