QUOTES:
“Less disturbing but still devastating is the Swedish director Ruben Ostlund’s “Force Majeure,” a witty deconstruction of the myth of the hero”
– Stephen Holden, The New York Times
“These are the films I will watch and re-watch after this year is done. These films are part of me now, and that’s just the way I like it”
– Drew McWeeny, HitFix
“Certainly a leading contender this year—and far and away among the very best”
– Ryan Lattanzio, Indiewire
“Visually stunning, narratively meticulous and often grimly funny”
– Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
“Impeccably, viscerally acted and fizzing with big ideas, Ruben Östlund’s dazzling film left me shaken and giddy, tingling with relief and anxiety”
– Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair
“Östlund pulls the rug under us and shows us the hypocrisy and lunacy of it all. This is a major contender”
– Jordan Ruimy, Awards Circuit
“If Ida and Ruben Ostlund’s Force Majeure from Sweden aren’t nominated I’d cry scandal — they are two of the finest films of the year, let alone finest foreign films”
– Sarah Cooper, Fionnuala Halligan and Louise Tutt, Screen International- Screen Daily
“Meticulous and deliberately paced, Force Majeure unexpectedly hits the viewer like an emotional avalanche”
– Claudia Puig, USA Today
“If ever there was a shot to make Alfred Hitchcock jealous, it’s the one that makes “Force Majeure”
– Jake Coyle, Associated Press
“A visually stunning film that is too embarrassing to watch without cringing or squirming in your seat at least once”
– Nomko Baatar, Washington Square News
“Its edge is so keen, and its movements so deft, that it’s not till you’re out the cinema and up the road that you realize how cutting it was”
– Jessica Kiang, The Playlist
