A Swedish family travels to the French Alps to enjoy a few days of skiing. The sun is shining and the slopes are spectacular but, during a lunch at a mountainside restaurant, an avalanche turns everything upside down. With diners fleeing in all directions, mother Ebba calls for her husband Tomas as she tries to protect their children. Tomas, meanwhile, is running for his life... The anticipated disaster failed to occur, and yet the family's world has been shaken to its core, a question mark hanging over their father in particular. Tomas and Ebba's marriage now hangs in the balance as Tomas struggles desperately to reclaim his role as family patriarch.

Loved the dialogue in this movie. Funny, realistic and awkward as hell. I liked everything about it until near the end when the plot seemed to drift apart... - @Monday, March 26, 2018 1:20 AM

One 'small' event can dammage a bourgeois marriage. The film shows without explaining. It is masterfully acted and directed from A to Z. BIG cinema from little Europe. - @Monday, November 21, 2016 9:12 PM

Most cringe-worthy movie ever! So great, you gotta watch it! - @Wednesday, September 21, 2016 9:21 AM

MrE

I so wanted to like this movie but it is bad...really really bad. It's not because it's slow, I love slow paced movies but with slowness there needs to be a strong script holding the audience attention, every frame and every scene should be telling you a story of its own. But there is no concrete story at all and a minor incident has been dragged for 2 freaking hours. Ok, what the father did can be considered wrong but does the wife has to over react about it? In a life threatening situation, adrenaline and your sub conscious mind takes over you, and no one knows how they'll react. Can someone be judged just because of one incident which he/she had no control over? Nothing really happens in the movie, it has been dragged for 2 hours just because the wife has decided to create a fuss over an incident which can be talked through and laughed off at a dinner table. The turning point in the movie is not convincing at all, these kind of incidents happen all the time in people's life but people do not decide to end their relation just because of it. - @Monday, September 5, 2016 9:33 PM

What chiefly struck me about this film was how silly and repressed Swedes have become. And this helps me understand why they are offering no resistance to the moslem refugee rabble who are taking their country from them. Swedes have become decadent and spineless. And it's fucking tragic. - @Sunday, December 20, 2015 1:40 AM

FORCE MAJEURE Director Ruben Östlund manages to stretch his film for two hours, based on a single, devastating question: do we really know those people we think we know? Many things are taken for granted in the relationship, important subjective matters are never mentioned, until a dreadful event that threats their lives confronts them with a disparity of reactions that triggers a cascade of doubts, quickly shared by others who find themselves unexpectedly involved. Östlund reveals an exquisite control of the environment, which accompanies the growing feeling of estrangement and coldness of the woman towards her husband. The point is well made in the first hour and a half of the movie. But the director does not stop there. The last scenes on the bus repeat the concept, this time from the female perspective: how would a woman react in a desperate situation?. That outcome is worth seeing. - @Thursday, March 19, 2015 3:51 AM
