Reviews:

A strange, uncomfortable and fascinating look at society
This is a hard film to describe and an even harder film to review but I’m going to try my best to express how I felt about it.

In an attempt to put it simply, The Square follows a modern art museum curator named Christian (played by Claes Bang), and some increasingly strange experiences which shape his views and understandings of the world he lives in and the people around him.

I had the chance to see this film on opening night at the New Zealand International Film Festival, and I am so glad I did. The Square plays like an increasingly bizarre farce, and while the film is indeed very funny (sometimes in shocking ways) it provides a consistently fascinating look at our behavior as people in society. Now I realize that isn’t necessarily innovative for a film in 2017, but that said, The Square dares to pose increasingly uncomfortable questions to its audience.

From the inherent narcissism of even the most ordinary of people, to the shallowness of popular culture, to the complex behaviors and interactions between people of disparate backgrounds. Again, these ideas are not necessarily novel, but the film presents them in a way that is consistently entertaining – even when certain exchanges on- screen are uncomfortable. There is a scene that takes place at a gathering of elite artists and sponsors that is as squirm-inducing as anything I’ve seen all year. I also must point out the constant use of dead-pan humor with verbal and visual gags throughout as one of the film’s secret weapons.

I would warn that this is not a film for everyone. The pacing is uneven, the structure is unusual, and there isn’t a whole lot of forward momentum to propel the film forward. But, if you are willing to meet the film halfway, I think you’re in for a fascinating, shocking, hilarious and uncomfortable (skewered) mirror into the society we live in.

Pretentious garbage!!
This movie makes fun of art. And because, I was told this was a comedy, I expected to be laughing.

Instead I got two hours and 45 minutes where nothing really happens. I didnt laugh once. And two scenes just pissed me off. The scene with the weird woman and the condom, who has a chimpansee in her apartment. Why is never explained. And the scene where the artist who’s “art” (ples of rubbel) the museum is exhibiting, shows up at a dinnerparty and jumps around on tables acting like a chimpansee, scaring the crap out of the dinnerguests. Threatening them and physically attacking them. This scene goes on and on, untill the artist is finally beaten up by some of the guests. And then there is the scene with the annoying boy that keeps showing up, demanding an apology for something stupid and not funny, that I wont even get into.

The soundtrack is annoying too.

For a movie that tries to make fun of art, only to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival, for being an artmovie and for a movie that claims to be a comedy, it fails miserably at both.

This is a pretentious pile of crap, made for wanna-be intellectuals, who can say they found it funny and that they got the message loud and clear: that most art is crap and that people, who pretend to wanna help others, only care about helping themselves and they dont care who they hurt in the process. And blah blah blah blah. This movie tries to be oh so clever and comes of as oh so annoying.

Avoid this. Unless youre a wannabe-intellectual movie snob. In which case you have probably already seen it.
