Plot
Five stories of group pressure.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ruben Östlund's second film threads five stories of group pressure and moral cowardice. Dry, awkward and keenly observed, with static takes, it is a sharp early look at the social anxiety his later work perfects.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
