Viewing Notes

Was glad to see this got picked up at CineArts in Evanston so I could catch after work. Not so glad I went. Not so much the movie but… well kinda. Just not the movie you want to watch being very exhausted. It’s a long, quiet, deliberate drama. I found myself nodding off a few times during the first half. This is a fine film but I’m still not a Haneke fan. At least my audience was age appropriate.
