Irene M @igawel Jul 21, 2026 July 2026. Watched before seeing "The Invite". There is one scene (about nuclear families) that also hearkens back to the book "Mating in Captivity", which I'd recently read. the ski resort is also a character in the movie. This is not just a very radically candid slice of life, its handled so well, it's not too painful (cringe as they say) to watch. The last few scenes provide as much closure as one might hope for. See more Alain E @AlainE Jul 16, 2026 The first half builds nicely, then the script goes off the rails. Tomas in the beginning maybe he didn’t realize that he fled the perceived danger without trying to help his family. Later on he goes to the other extreme acknowledging all type of transgressions including infidelity and sobbing uncontrollably. When he loses the card key he never thinks to go to the reception to get a replacement but waits outside the locked door for hours. Apparently there no other occupants on the whole floor of the hotel! For some reason the family decides to go ski the last day in dense fog with two little children. The wife is almost lost and has to be carried by the husband, but once they reach the kids she is able to walk just fine. The husband’s brother also turns insensitive to his girlfriend and essentially break up. In the final scene the group of visitors abandon the bus and walk down the mountain. Some type of symbolism? The lesson: avoid ski vacations if you want to keep your family intact. See more Mina K. @vitaminq May 12, 2026 This is a very realistic, disgusting, pitiful, but somewhat funny story. And it's a new style. No judgement and stereotypes in the movie. The audience will think what they would be and what they would do after watching this. All characters have complexity in them like in real life. I liked it. See more Eye C @ECinc Jan 26, 2026 An interesting movie that plays with the human instincts. Good one, and it gives the opportunity to talk about it. See more D G @go_DG_go Jan 6, 2026 Thought provoking film on family and gender roles. Beautifully shot and acted. Didn't find any of the characters endearing and felt the redemption was abrupt and unearned. See more Marco L @decatur555 Oct 26, 2024 A seemingly perfect family faces an extreme situation that puts their bonds and values to the test. An instinctive, unexpected act by the father sets off a series of emotional tensions that deeply affect the family. The film explores selfishness, the fragility of relationships and the clash between social expectations and human impulses with great skill. The direction is sober, the images striking, and the whole thing feels uncomfortably real. It's the kind of film that makes you squirm in your seat and then think about how we would react to the unexpected. Selfishness, or just being human? I'm still not sure, and that's exactly why it works. See more Read all reviews
