Det vita bandet - Recensioner

This is a profoundly disquieting movie, superbly acted and directed. Its sinister riddle glitters more fiercely each time I watch it.

For once, Haneke doesn’t force the issues he raises, and his poetic, haunting essay is all the better for it.

...gripande och drabbande. Man sugs in i en värld där människor trycks ner av överheten, i synnerhet den militant fromma protestantiska kyrkan.

...egenartat vackert, stillsamt tänkvärt och imponerande spelat räcker en lång väg.

Michael Haneke løfter med Det hvide bånd sine dystre studier af den menneskelige psyke ud af de tidligere mindre films overskuelige rammer og har begået sit mest komplette værk til dato.

The film is visually masterful. It's in black and white, of course. Color would be fatal to its power.

...essentially an inquiry into the roots of a certain kind of evil, the sort committed en masse when old ways of thinking start to fall into hypocrisy and irrelevance, and crueler forms start to take their place.

Time will tell if this is Michael Haneke’s masterpiece, but it’s certainly one of the year’s best.

A disquieting feeling of apprehension is made palpable in 'The White Ribbon'.
