Nice film about a couple who arrive at their holiday home while a burglar is inside. A simple setup with one location and a few actors (the film could easily have been based on a play). Quite slow and the friction between the characters only slowly emerges. Fairly stylishly depicted, good acting and a great ending.

Windfallis a small film with one location and only a few actors. The opening credits, the font, the shot and the music give it a 1950s Hitchcock atmosphere.

Because the first half minute is so different from what you are used to as a viewer, you are immediately prepared for a film that is certainly not what is being made today. It seems more like a play in film form.

I understand what they were trying to do here, but unfortunately it's not exciting enough as a thriller. Some conversations are downright boring. And the sparse humor is not enough to really make you laugh. In other words: neither meat nor fish. The Hitchcockian music is initially a fun gimmick, but becomes quite annoying and present over time.

It feels like a film school graduation film, but with well-known actors.

2.5 stars

Much more than a snack and again a shame that it suddenly appears on Netflix.

Subtle slow burner with a wonderfully uncomfortable atmosphere and very funny at the same time. Intriguing from the great opening shot with surprising music. Fine dialogues, beautiful acting (Segel also surprises positively), and despite the minimalism - or precisely because of it, together with the strong score - a refreshing film in the genre. Go see this!
