A powerfully graphic film (even though no violence is ever shown on the screen itself) about an Austrian family who goes on a country vacation and become the victims of two cold-blooded psychopaths who are out to torture them with their "funny games."

"Posing as a morally challenging work of art, the movie is a really a sophisticated act of cinematic sadism. You go to it at your own risk." | ||||
"The film is shocking and upsetting, but never truly gets under the skin the way this kind of material often can" | ||||
"It's a film you might argue with, but its sparing use of on-screen violence, some extraordinarily protracted scenes and sensitive handling of thorny subject matter make it also a film you ought to see" | ||||
"This is Scream for art-house aficionados (...) Haneke’s admonishments are disturbing only in the sense that they’re never self-critical (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"An uncomfortable, distressing, and altogether provocative take on the global culture of media violence (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)" |
