Outstanding. Takes a simple premise - what if a husband displayed cowardice in a moment of peril - and examines it from every possible angle. The movie is confident to let this breathe, to let us watch these people slowly process what this means to them, trying and mostly failing to deal with this.
Outstanding performances across the board (perhaps none moreso than Lisa Loven Kongsli) and lovely cinematography that manages to create a grim brightnesses and comforting darknesses.
I wish it had a more confident ending. It felt like the movie had said all it had to say, but kept going for another 20 minutes to reach some kind of arch conclusion.
Easily my favorite Ruben Östlund movie. Shocked see this from the same person who made The Square.
