A movie that deals with issues involving relationships, desire, repression and control. A complex story with complex characters, where everything leads to extreme, unimaginable results. A movie that has a great impact and really uncomfortable scenes, some of which are disturbing, and all of which is reinforced by great, realistic performances. The direction seeks to bring more involvement through the music and the construction of the characters, using more distant camera positions, like an observer of everything that happens.

Meh… third Haneke film i’ve seen and third i’ve given a 5/10 rating. Might be disturbing to some ppl but there’s films out there a lot more disturbing (im looking at i Gasper Noe). Tbh it’s dreary and kind of boring.

I was completely aghast. Very disturbing film. As far as films go this is definitely unforgettable - well made and unforgettable. It carries you down a rabbit hole and leaves you at the bottom. The main character seems to be in crisis and snaps back to reality too late to change her course. I think More
