Michael Haneke's subtle and biting social satire follows three generations of the wealthy Laurent family, who live in Calais, close to a migrant encampment. The voyeuristic story of these damaged people is captivating and well acted, but Haneke has covered similar ground in superior films like Benny's Video, Caché, and Funny Games.
