Force Majeure Ratings & Reviews
Esquire Magazine
Nick Schager
Rarely has a film taken men to the woodshed for their failings with such a mix of disgust, pity, and wit, the last of which is the key ingredient that helps make Force Majeure such a unique high-wire balancing act.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
For a comedy about emotional pain, this is neither discomforting nor terribly funny, and the satire of bourgeois complacency doesn't cut very deep.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Ultimately, "Force Majeure" becomes a thoughtful examination, through Tomas and Ebba, of the person who lives inside each of us, emerging only in the most unguarded moments - and not always a person we want to acknowledge.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Force Majeure" is both funny and sad, often in the same glance-averted instant. See it with someone you'd trust to stick around in an avalanche. It's one of the highlights of 2014.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Östlund has an exquisite eye for the intimate, nonverbal communication between couples through their posture, gestures, their eyes.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
The film gets its biggest laughs -- and there truly are some grandly bleak belly-shakers here -- by upsetting the apple cart on traditional gender roles.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Force Majeure" leaves the audience squirming - in all the very best ways.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
Ostlund has a keen eye for human behavior that exacerbates marital discord and dysfunction.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Little but the children's fear of their parents' separation has any dramatic weight.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Meticulous and deliberately paced, Force Majeure unexpectedly hits the viewer like an emotional avalanche.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
As adroitly written and directed by Sweden's Ruben Ostlund, "Force Majeure" is a precise film about an out-of-control situation.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Cary Darling
Slow and, especially in the beginning, sometimes even prosaic, Force Majeure uses very ordinary moments as building blocks for something tense and unnerving.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
This is icy-dry comedy, perfectly calibrated to the movie's snowy environs.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
For all the family drama, the film is pretty funny.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
"Force Majeure" is a prickly moral comedy for grown-ups, full of sharply observed moments, spectacular scenery and masterfully manipulated atmosphere.
NPR
Bob Mondello
But while you'd think audiences would barely even register a cad any more, two new movies - 'Listen Up Philip' and 'Force Majeure' - resurrect the breed with leading men who are almost impossible to empathize with, but compelling nonetheless.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Filmmaker Ruben Östlund shifts gears from humor to psychological thriller, redefining courage and family in the process. Force Majeure is a jolt. You won't know what hit you
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
It is a film that makes your murmur in amazement as you watch and then brood on the dangerous corners in all our lives. It's a quiet avalanche.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
Force Majeure is ultimately about something not often explored in film: the consequences of male weakness in a world in which men are expected to be strong at all times.
Slate
Dana Stevens
Intellectually and visually enthralling and often savagely funny, but it also demands a significant investment of both patience and stamina on the viewer's part.
