The tonal elegance of this black comedy set in a dark time -- is boldly dependent on performances that tug at taut lines of moral complexity.
The film treats the ensuing issues of conscience and compromise with subtlety and warmth.
Divided We Fall briskly, often hilariously, forbids us to wallow in the specious comfort of untainted local heroes or irredeemable villains.
Audiences will talk about how satisfying this movie is.
An amiable black comedy.
In its compassionate absurdism and underlying dark humor, the movie seeks to reestablish contact with the Czech new wave.
None of this is funny, the surreal touches are ridiculous and the final fantasy sequence, in which the nameless ghosts of the murdered Wiener family smile on Josef, is simply nauseating.
