This is a peculiarly brutal horror-thriller centered on a Danish family visiting new acquaintances in Holland, who turn out to be more than they can handle. Starting from such a minimalistic and low-key premise, the team builds up its characters through several layers of tension, toward a grand finale, all the more horrifying for being perfectly predictable.
The writing is well-paced, concise and visual, and the characters, their inner life and the tension among them is captured in a few elegant and subdued strokes. The two male leads are particularly impressive, the one providing a great 'on-the-edge' character, the other a particularly subtle rendering of midlife crisis, peppered with masculine insecurities, class issues masquerading as culture shock, and fantasies of authenticity.
The wives are get less air-time but both offer relatable and credible performances. The kids both have thankless roles and the movie might have cured me from ever wanting to start a family.
Finally, the sound is also unusually interesting for a film of this type, for example when setting the mundane hell of adulting, against ominous orchestral music.
This is a very subtle and subdued horror thriller, which has all the qualities of Nordic cinema and few of its defects.

I'm Danish, so there is a certain amount of pride in seeing a Danish film receive high marks.
Unfortunately, I don't think the movie deserves it.
It isn't bad, but I thought there were a bit too many things that just didn't make sense. I know horror film and thrillers have to have the characters make decisions you probably wouldn't have ever done, but I think they took it a bit too far here. I won't spoil anything, but if you see it, ask yourself: when would I have gotten in the car and hauled ass back to Denmark?

Sometimes the true horror lies in the awkward sneaky uncomfortableness that slowly ratchets into the nearly unbearable. The place where passive-aggressive steadily becomes aggressive. A slow burn becomes pure hell. Funny Games meets Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
Horror is my life, from z list splatter to the arthouse. However, a film that truly makes me uncomfortable is a rarity. As someone with social anxiety, this was my idea of torture. It may not be for everyone, but the crawling tension and discomfort was horror enough for me. Speak No Evil fully proves that Hell truly is other people.

Seen during the 2022 Sundance Film Festival.
This probably isn't the best review you'll read as it's been a while since I've posted anything. However, for this film, I'm happy to make the effort.
Words cannot describe how uncomfortable I felt watching the film. The social awkwardness, miscommunication and remote setting make this a very uncomfortable movie to watch. Not to mention the last 30 minutes, where the film turns from a psychological thriller to a twisted horror with horrendous graphic violence (I mean that in the good sense).
I was not yet familiar with Christian Tafdrup's work, but he is definitely putting himself on the map with this film.
Suitable for: People who don't want to sleep at night and have had a lot of fun watching movies like Hereditary and Midsommar.
Not suitable for: People who are going to watch this with their partner. You will get bruises and tears will flow.
PS. I'm from the Netherlands myself, and we're not that bad. As long as you do what we say.

An uptight couple are invited to spend the weekend with another couple they befriended on holiday. As the movie's ominous score will let you know, things get weird.
Many have compared this to Michael Haneke's work, but it's no pale imitation. Shot composition, camera and lighting is all excellent. The sound design is superb - subtle and very detailed. Everyone acts well.
Apparently, some people dislike the film because there is no 'common sense' or whatever, but I saw a movie that uses plot contrivances to illustrate its meta-narrative points of parenthood, cowardice, selfishness and heroism.
I almost gave it an 8, but it could have gone even further with its cruelty and explored the themes more. There was stuff left to do.
If you want fun and thrills - avoid. It's slow, bleak and heartless. But if you want an intelligent, well-structured and thoughtful horror movie, it's a good 'un.
