A loose sequel to Funny Games
Although most people refer to this movie as a drama, just like Funny Games, this is in fact a horror movie. Amour’s viewing experience is just as terrible as the one of Funny Games. At the end of the movie (and during the movie) you just wish you...
Touching
I'm going to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of old people love. It always kind of just makes me depressed. This movie, however was really sincere. Its a little hard to watch but definitely worth it.
Likely to see
Not for me
