Not as accomplished and tight as some of Hanekes other movies. Some episodes in the latter part of the movie could have been shortened (the vacation), and gives the movie overweight towards the end. A chilling first act, but the climax negates what has been happening all along. It raises important issues and is worth watching, nontheless.
