Critics Consensus: Though made with great skill, Funny Games is nevertheless a sadistic exercise in chastising the audience.

Reviews

Film Inquiry

Stephanie Archer

Michael Haneke‘s Funny Games finds little humor in the horror it unleashes on the unsuspecting Farber Family. A game to shock and horrify, this is not a film with a happy ending, but rather a terrifying understanding of the continuing cycle of violence.

A frustrating, yet rewarding, viewing experience.

An interesting experiment that was totally pointless for someone who'd seen the original numerous times

The former vision possessed a rugged authenticity and unrecognizable casting choices that were decidedly superior.

Micheal Compton

Haneke's film is disturbing to watch, but that is exactly the point. In an era where the media has pretty much desensitized violence, Haneke has found a way to make it all seem uncomfortable.
