Review of Force Majeure (2014) by Scraper — 22 Dec 2016

Was Force Majeure trying to make a statement about masculinity and gender roles or was it simply about a coward and his futile desire to be better than that which is written on his soul? This movie said more to me about the desire to change, the struggle to reestablish trust with someone after committing a mortal sin inside a relationship.

The screenplay immerses you in the complicated roadblock that consume the couple. I really liked the script and the grinding premise it feeds it's characters into. Personally, I would've like to have seen Force Majeure take more risks and really ratchet things up towards the middle to end.

A fine film none-the-less.
