The Square [Sub: Eng]
TrailerChristian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is 'The Square', an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian's foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile, the museum's PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for 'The Square'. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.Actors: Claes Bang, Elisabeth Moss, Dominic West, Terry Notary, Christopher Læssø, Marina Schiptjenko, Elijandro Edouard, Daniel Hallberg, Martin Sööder, Sofie Hamilton, Annica Liljeblad, ...»Director: Ruben ÖstlundCountry: Sweden, Germany, France, DenmarkDuration: 151 minQuality: HDRelease: 2017IMDb: 7.10 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "The Square [Sub: Eng]"
Detroit NewsDecember 08, 2017An examination of social context, elitism, cultural bubbles and more, The Square is - to put it precisely - absolutely bonkers. But purposefully bonkers.
San Diego ReaderNovember 17, 2017The whole experience is rough going: sometimes numbing, sometimes horrifying, sometimes merely baffling. There's a kind of artful artlessness at work here
San Francisco ChronicleNovember 09, 2017It's funny throughout - not to say that it inspires many laughs, but it's full of irony and absurdity and is very smart.
Toronto StarNovember 02, 2017It's laugh-out-loud funny and occasionally just plain silly. But it asks a serious question that seems more urgent with every passing day: "How much inhumanity does it take before we access your humanity?"
Washington PostNovember 02, 2017For all its stylishness and sophistication, "The Square" never adds up to more than its very attractive parts.
Winnipeg Free PressJanuary 18, 2018The Square keeps viewers off-balance, taking on race and xenophobia, gender and abuse, poverty and class privilege with a sideways Nordic tone that is both hilarious and serious.
The Straits Times (Singapore)January 18, 2018Yet, this movie is anything but misanthropic. And while it pokes at the pretensions of modern art, it does not dismiss it altogether.
Another GazeJanuary 08, 2018Presenting itself as a balanced satire of everyone, Östlund's "I hate all people equally" take is never satisfying.
Cinema em CenaJanuary 03, 2018The movie makes the audience laugh while looking covering its eyes in embarrassment for the characters. [Full review in Portuguese.]
Counterpunch.orgDecember 30, 2017Brilliant satire on the art world focused on the pretentious, Whitney Museum milieu in Sweden. A morality tale mixed with sketches that put SNL to shame.
