“A hothouse flower of misery, sprouting dozens of resentment-buds under artificially controlled conditions”~Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

Aroview: Director Ben Wheatley (HIGH RISE, FREE FIRE) applies his absurd mix of humour and violence to the dysfunction family genre in this comedy about a man who rents a heritage mansion in Dorset for his family to celebrate New Year. A decidedly deadpan dystopian downer.
