A masterpiece. Totally blown away by the subtle beauty, the raising tension and stark cinematography. Truly one of the best films of the decade.

It's so Bergmanian, it's almost plagiarism.

Excellent movie - a story of pre-Nazi Germany, with a string of crimes that leave you wondering at the end about the identity of the perpetrator.

Camera perspective gets further away from the village church in each scene as the scenarios told by villagers get further away from the facts!

Fantastic effort from Haneke, though not as good as Cache. Brilliant. 9/10

This is one of my favorite movies. Deeply unsettling and intriguing. Every frame is a harrowing painting. Haneke at his best. Liked it way more than Caché. Go see it!

I have seen more than 1000 films from the 00's and this comes in tied for first place. A perfect film that makes a severe impression.

This movie is one of the most intense movies. A full package with full of emotions and concepts related to human nature. Much like Bergman's Viskningar och rop in this regard.

I really liked it. You'll like it if you're prepared and in the mood for a slow and subtle movie. I can understand why some people might not enjoy this, though. You must be in a certain mindset and able to be entirely consumed by it, then it's brilliant.

It's quite good, but besides it's great look I never found it better nor as powerful as some of Hanake's other films like Cache, The Piano Teacher, Code Unknown, and Funny Games.

i really liked this movie, even if i got super bored at the end. this movie is way to long. but watching it in the cinema was impressing because you felt how the room got sad and depressing. oh yes i though it was a really depressing movie, which is not especially bad, though.

The motivation to "explain" the origin of Nazism is a way too short. Actually is how hierarchy deforms the personality of people. The relation between man and woman or between father and children in the film are like today the relations between the boss an his/her employees.

Very powerful film in the vein of Bergman (particularly reminiscent of the aforementioned's "spiritual trilogy"). That being said, the film has its weaknesses, particularly in its ambiguity... I'm not sure that the message the filmmakers wanted to convey is the appropriate one in the finished production... I'll definitely have to let this one sink in some more though.
