About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like bleak, tense family dramas with dark humor and lots of awkward emotional fallout; Not for you if you want a traditional comedy or fast-moving plot like Triangle of Sadness.

Pros: tense psychological conflict; sharp dark comedy; stunning snowy setting | Cons: awkwardly paced scenes; division over “meaning”; some distracting moments
