Top CriticThe second panel in Haneke's trilogy (preceded by Seventh Continent and followed by 71 Fragments) offers a chilling and haunting postmodern look at isolation, alienation and violence, with a critique of mass media effects on actual behavior.
07/21/09
To Benny, and to us, too (at least for the duration of the film) the mediated image - blinkered, manipulable, vicarious - is the 'reality' of choice.
02/26/08
[Makes] arguments that Haneke delivers with frosty menace but, alas, an also typically pedantic, haranguing tenor.
04/18/07
Similar to The Seventh Continent, this film's objective is to analyze and deconstruct the effects rather than senselessly guess their causes
08/19/06
in the end, with a character that repellent and a message so heavy handed, there is no need to commit ourselves to this bitter, merciless film.

Top CriticA smug, contemptuous, passive-aggressive attack on the dehumanizing effects of media.
