Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Alexandr Orlov This is not just a remake of the old film, but a trivial exact copy. Up to the poses and replicas. So, in my opinion, does not deserve to be rated higher than just for the work done on the film's shooting, not for the film itself.

jc1999 Haneke's directing is exceptional, as always. The set decoration suits perfectly the movie -a cozy all-white house which soon becomes a cold crime scene- and Haneke makes sure we get to see it all throught the film. Naomi Watts is amazing, I'd say it's one of her best performances. She makes the audience feel her grief in the most natural way, and not wanting to stand out from the rest of the cast, even though she does. She is the soul of 'Funny Games US'.

sedwards7 There's no actual story here. It's a "character" study of two violent, evil sociopaths who psychologically and physically torment an innocent family. That's all that happens. The family never has a chance. You keep hoping, but they are trapped. This just goes on and on and on. It's like watching a cat slowly kill its prey. It's actually well done. It's creepy, the suspense is quite masterful. For those who like to watch the ultimate story portraying ugly and cruel don't care about the good guys winning....this is for you. I felt ripped off because I kept watching expecting the "situation" for these innocent people to reverse. It never did. The writer of this must be somewhat sadistic himself. There are those who will like it, I'm sure, it is well done for what is is. Ick.

chuckbechard This is going to be a very simple review - Funny Games might just be the worst movie I have ever seen. And this makes no sense because - Tim Roth...outstanding - Naomi Watts...great - the movie...terrible waste of time. Save yourself and just watch something...anything else. You will be happy that you made any other choice what so ever.
