  A stunning examination of masculinity in crisis and how one split second decision under duress can change the whole infrastructure of a family unit. Increasingly tense dialogue exchanges ensue. It's also surprisingly humorous at times. Some bravura sequences in this sucker too, like the epic avalanche long take, and the stressful, thought-provoking bus ride that closes the film. The scene at the bar with the song Reload playing in the background might be my favorite though. It tells a lot by doing very little. Lots to debate in this one. Authentic performances, restrained direction, and gorgeous cinematography round things out. Any film that can make me question myself deserves all the praise I can muster. Superb job, Ruben Östlund!

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  is skiing like a thing? is skiing like a thing real people do irl? or is it just a plot device for horror movies, survival movies and maybe idk... rich dads to abandon their kids and wives during a "controlled" avalanche maybe???

  I (M41) ran away from an avalanche without grabbing my wife (F38) and kids (M7, F9). AITA?

  THE LONELIEST PLANET chilled and served family style.

  mordantly mirthful riff on the fragility of gender roles that soars to the top of the list of films you should never watch with your partner. so good. still mulling over the last scene, though... which is some heart-in-your-throat cinema, but feels redundant in the wake of the penultimate scene? would be interested to discuss in vague terms.
