Funny Games //reviews //writing
A movie that’s not for everyone. It toys with audience, addressing them, playing with the implied standard thriller narrative and even implicating them in the brutality that occurs to the family when two sociopathic tennis-clad men trap them in their home.
An uncomfortable watch, even through most of the actual violence is off-screen you want to stop watching. With this, No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood, it’s been a brilliant but uncomfortable few months at the cinema.
