The Square [Sub: Eng]
Description
Christian is the respected curator of a contemporary art museum, a divorced but devoted father of two who drives an electric car and supports good causes. His next show is 'The Square', an installation which invites passersby to altruism, reminding them of their role as responsible fellow human beings. But sometimes, it is difficult to live up to your own ideals: Christian's foolish response to the theft of his phone drags him into shameful situations. Meanwhile, the museum's PR agency has created an unexpected campaign for 'The Square'. The response is overblown and sends Christian, as well as the museum, into an existential crisis.

Brilliant satire on the art world focused on the pretentious, Whitney Museum milieu in Sweden. A morality tale mixed with sketches that put SNL to shame.January 18, 2018
Yet, this movie is anything but misanthropic. And while it pokes at the pretensions of modern art, it does not dismiss it altogether.November 09, 2017

I do not understand it.January 18, 2018
The Square keeps viewers off-balance, taking on race and xenophobia, gender and abuse, poverty and class privilege with a sideways Nordic tone that is both hilarious and serious.December 08, 2017
An examination of social context, elitism, cultural bubbles and more, The Square is - to put it precisely - absolutely bonkers. But purposefully bonkers.January 08, 2018
Presenting itself as a balanced satire of everyone, Östlund's "I hate all people equally" take is never satisfying.November 02, 2017
It's laugh-out-loud funny and occasionally just plain silly. But it asks a serious question that seems more urgent with every passing day: "How much inhumanity does it take before we access your humanity?"January 03, 2018
The movie makes the audience laugh while looking covering its eyes in embarrassment for the characters. [Full review in Portuguese.]November 17, 2017
The whole experience is rough going: sometimes numbing, sometimes horrifying, sometimes merely baffling. There's a kind of artful artlessness at work hereNovember 02, 2017
For all its stylishness and sophistication, "The Square" never adds up to more than its very attractive parts.
