This was director Michael Haneke and star Isabelle Huppert's reunion, and it's a good film, but one that takes too long and isn't as good as it thinks it is. I gave it a "7" star rating based solely on the fact that I thought it was well-acted, well-directed and captured a good gritty realism. Shame about the rest, though.
The plot follows a group of people (mainly Huppert and her children) in a sort of semi-post-apocalyptic world, where everything's changing and disaster has torn the world apart. It's "Mad Max Lite." The story isn't the most impressive aspect of the film, but the direction (as aforementioned) doesn't disappoint.
All in all it's a worthwhile film that could have been better. I saw it for free, but I'd probably pay to see it again in the future if I was given the chance.
