Chris D Probably one of the most incredible films ever made. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Audience Member Béla Tarr cleverly EXPLOITS the authorial aura of FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE to create a halo effect, nudging the audience into perceiving nonexistent existential meanings in the 2 HOUR movie, By invoking Nietzsche's name and philosophical ideas at the film's onset, Tarr masterfully MANIPULATES VIEWER expectations, hinting at a profound exploration of human existence. However, beneath its austere, visually striking surface, the movie's narrative is surprisingly straightforward and DEVOID of profound symbolism. Tarr's strategic use of Nietzsche's authorial aura generates a halo effect of intellectual depth, enticing viewers to overanalyze and attribute meaning to the film's repetitive, mundane, and quite bizarre sequences. This clever tactic transforms an otherwise simplistic story into a perceived cinematic masterpiece, replete with complex themes and symbolism. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Dario D A hodgepodge mess of a movie, a boring, slow, mess that shoves down your throat scene after scene of a horse, a lady and some potatoes. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review J. D Grimly beautiful poetry. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/21 Full Review raphael g The cinematography is astounding. The textures are great. The patience, the storm. It's like we are living there with them, trying to weather the tempest. What a pessimistic ending though. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you have any existential depression, then watch and wait for dying.
