Happy End is a Haneke mega mix, and the haters are very much gonna hate. But there is something irresistible about the director’s hostile precision and the way in which he offers a surprise along with every lacerating cut.

Michael Haneke’s new film gleams with cold gallows humour.

As ever, Haneke’s rigid control of form is breathtaking.

...känns lite som ett hopkok av Hanekes tidigare filmer. ”Haneke fan service” kanske man skulle kunna kalla det.
