Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Ruben Östlund acquired inspiration for some scenes in the screenplay from real footage on YouTube. For example, the avalanche which serves as a momentum early in the story was inspired by a video Östlund found on YouTube, and a performance by a 12-year-old accordionist of Vivaldi's "Summer" was taken directly from a YouTube clip and played repeatedly throughout the film.
- GoofsThe family is skiing in the French Alps, but when Mats and Fanny are waiting for the elevator after their awkward evening with Tomas and Ebba, the directory beside the elevator is in Swedish.

Featured review
THE COMEDY IS SO FRICKIN DARK.
A slow-burn relationship drama that just explodes with brutal honesty and awkward tension. The comedy is so frickin dark and I love it. This film is definitely very thought-provoking and worthy of analysis, so simple yet crucially fundamental.
