    A social horror movie, the tension at the banquet was as good as any thriller from the past...

    Even the Palme d'Or at Cannes is completely unlovable. Northern Europe is still too developed, and I feel that there is no major social contradiction other than political...

    Putting an entire era into one movie, everyone is like an object in an art museum, watching and being watched happen at the same time, what is the difference between a poor complacent human world and a lipstick-smeared orangutan. People who still explore the language of film are almost extinct. This is what European films should look...

    Half a good movie. Later, not only the plot but also the rhythm started to get out of control. Being a Palme d'Or is a bit overrated. In some places, the director's irony and depth are somewhat like Roy Anderson, but the control and rhythm are far less than him. And Tony Erdman seems to have set off this year's European absurd comedy boom, unfortunately, I can't like...

    The teasing and bantering of the elite, the savage climax scene is vigorous and powerful. I just suddenly felt that I didn't seem to have any movies about the middle class that could be put on the stage, and all the nouveau...

    There are not many new materials, but the class has been moved to the contemporary art...

    The irony is so superficially dry and tedious, with no sense of humor and only stupid joke plot design, the dinner table scene is so stupid that you want to beat people. The self-righteous director, like his characters, thinks that he is just and fraternal, but in fact he is so narcissistic and indifferent that everything he does is a waste of time. (Think of what he looked like at...

    The movie gave me an offensive discomfort throughout the entire viewing experience. Using evil to ridicule evil is just self-righteous moral thinking, just like garbage in an art gallery that has no value. For example, in the scene of the night banquet, the evil of civilized etiquette was ridiculed with barbaric animal evil, a kind of high-level banter. Another example is the stolen mobile phone at the beginning, the hypocrisy of the middle class is also based on the crime of the bottom people,...

    Full of cheap shots. I hate this concept first, the plot depends entirely on design, the characters are all puppets, and they are so straightforward that they use careful tricks to repeatedly prove the narrow "point of view" that has been preset. The creator thinks that he is smarter than others, and the audience burst into knowing mocking laughter at the right time, as if he is also a little...

    The film expresses sincerity, the photography and composition are stylized, the weakening of the linear narrative is also attractive, and the soundtrack is surprising, but not preachy. This is similar to the disillusionment of utopian socialism a hundred years ago, and the moderate leftists are getting more and more frustrated in their...
