"Never before have I watched a director take so much time to say so terribly little. I know I'm supposed to like this film, but I found it too shallow and intellectually/philosophically lazy to offer it much praise. "

"The story chronicles three years in the lives of a middle class family seemingly caught up in their daily routines, only troubled by minor incidents. Behind their apparent calm and repetitive existence however, they are actually planning something sinister. I've seen quite a few of Michael Haneke movies over the years and enjoyed all of them apart from this one that is (it was his first as director). The cinematography and atmosphere were there, but the story and character development were not."

"As a condemnation of Western life under capitalism, it's undeniably potent, but the true merit of the film is in its horrifying extended document of self-destruction. The smashing of clocks, the flushing of the money, all the gestures of release before taking the plunge are just such incredible images. It's denouement, the television reflecting the character's inhumanity, hasn't left me to this day."
