    This movie's intent was to piss people off. Some people find it brilliant, but I can't give it credit for that, especially since it's so easy to piss people off - George Lucas has been doing that since 1999.

      Editing … Alright, now you made me curious. I loved Heineke's other movies (#Amour and #The White Ribbon) so I might as well check out Funny Games. edit: just bought the DVD on Amazon :)

      Editing … Well, there isn't much of a middle ground with this movie. You'll either love it, or it'll straight up annoy you, which is what the project was aiming for. There's a very clear moment in this movie that'll make it or break it for you, since it really is an experiment that intentionally toys with the viewer's expectations.

      Editing … The "rewind" scene with the remote. It's the moment that any viewer should be aware that the family's situation was inescapable from the moment that the two villains showed up. Once I realized that the family's situation was hopeless from the start, the movie just feels like a cruel exercise in psychologically torturing a family until the director feels it's time to kill them. It doesn't bother me that the bad guys win, but I did find it annoying when it's obnoxiously realized that they always win, and the victims never have a fighting chance. It just sucks the wind out of the suspense.
