yes, I only saw it once when it came out, but it really stuck with me, and I'm looking forward to seeing it again - but only with the right people

I think about this film at least once a week. I can't believe what it gets away with.

I remember liking it fine when it came out if not being quite as into it as everyone else, but I imagine upon a second viewing I could change my mind.

I've seen this film and Everyone Else, and I may need to see them again at some point; I just read the plot summaries that were occasionally familiar but seemed emotionally remote from what I remembered of the actual experience of watching them.

I need to rewatch it, but I can say for sure I haven't laughed harder at anything in years than at the culminating scene at the end of the party.

Which is immediately followed by its most heart-tugging scene. The timing of the film's beats is perfect even though its rhythms are odd.

I feel like a lot of recent Euro comedies have been mean-spirited in a nihilstic, mansplainy kind of way, but this isn't like that at all, and I loved that.

yes, imagine Ruben Östlund directing this thing.
