No play, no fun, no entertainment

Play (2011)

Directed by Ruben Ostlund this film stars Yannick Diakite, Sebastian Blyckert and Kevin Vaz. Two white and one Asian boy are robbed by a group of black boys in Sweden.

In Sweden this film proved to be really controversial but I just found it profoundly boring. Some will claim that the plot holds a mirror up to the viewers own prejudices but I found the basic story takes too long and offers little in sight into the reasons for the situation. Long static takes may have been an artistic choice but to me they just add to the dull nature of this film.


2/5
