The violence, in short, remains unseen, but that makes it no easier to bear; what lurks and wails behind a wall is, for Haneke, the most reliable wellspring of dread.

These characters' lives interconnect with a Romanian immigrant and a deaf teacher.

A procession of long virtuoso takes that typically begin and end in the middle of actions or sentences, constituting not only an interactive jigsaw puzzle but a thrilling narrative experiment.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A searing, structurally ingenious look at racial tension on the streets of Paris.
Scott Tobias, AV Club
Rotten
All this unrelenting bleakness would be fine if it went someplace interesting, but the film's themes never coalesce into anything beyond basic existential angst.
David Rooney, Variety

Despite the film's Bressonian rigours, its emotional force should finally give the lie to Haneke's reputation as a coldly academic film-maker.
