Odd, amazing thriller opening. A corker of bloody, obsidian, class-based comedy ensues. Bad end, misogynous streak mar it.

Dutch, Hitchcockian Dogtooth? Bum last act makes it less "good" but doesn't dull the surprises or black-comic vivacity of best passages. I marveled at those. I sat there, jaw agape.
