Swedish writer and director Ruben Östlund delivers a knockout with this terrific drama. A Swedish family on vacation in the French Alps witness a controlled avalanche where a moment of danger triggers an instinctual reaction reveals troubling insight in the family's dynamic. Östlund delivers an utterly original film that goes beyond the story exploring male and female psychology in a profound way with plenty of humor. Johannes Kuhnke and Lisa Loven Kongsli deliver terrific performances in the leads along a fine supporting cast. 1001 Films' coverage of the 37th Mill Valley Film Festival.
