    In today's digital bog of empty light and marketing deceptions, this is what early-millennium Euro art-film masterpieces feel like--lean, qualmish, abstracted to the point of parable but as grounded as a gravedigging.

    In the somewhat muted lead role, Huppert really is a marvel.
  3. I would rather have a more interesting group of desperate people to spend my post-apocalyptic time with.

    A wonderful film, scary, moving, unexplained, inexplicable, showing us the end of civilization as we know it, but with an unexpected note of optimism and beauty at the end. Huppert is marvelous and her two children are superb. Expand
