2193

Dark humour doesn't usually appeal to me but I liked this film despite it's rather immoral overall theme. The actors are excellent, the pace just right (other than the prologue which is disturbing and almost put us off entirely). The chemistry between the four members of the main family works very well, and the rating of 15 is about right in my view. Definitely not suitable for children.

Avoid this if you think too deeply about films, or are easily disturbed or offended. But if you're willing to put reality aside and accept some quite horrific violence (off-screen) in the matter-of-fact way it's presented, it's amusing in places and has a positive message about family values and the importance of humour.
