Perfect cast and a good story

Good movie but grossly overrated

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I enjoy arthouse films, and I really enjoy films about art. But not when they yield whatever this "movie" was. This film was the guy-in-Starbucks-on-his-macbook-sipping-his-$8-latte-while-checking-his-iPhone X-posting-about-the-horrors-of-capitalism levels of pretentious. I am just in awe at how this passed screenings and people didn't exclaim, "What the hell was that even about?". The first half of the film is amusing, although every single character was unlikable and overbearingly annoying. They all exuded levels of narcissism and superiority that make it really hard to invest in what they were doing. Modern art is hit-or-miss, at best, and all of the "Art" shown in this movie was a huge miss. But you wouldn't know it from the way these talent-less hacks would rave about the most mundane looking pieces that any Renaissance artist was laugh at.Unfortunately, the second half of the film falls of a cliff and nosedives into the jagged rocks below. After a horrible and hilarious cringey live performance, the movie devolves into people looking intently at their phones, making garbled conversation, and just being painfully boring. Seriously, I have seen some boring movies in my time, but this film really takes the cake in that NOTHING OF INTEREST OR ARTISTIC VALUE GOES ON FOR MOST OF IT!!! I' m sorry for the yelling, but in truth, anyone who says that they are "affected" or "touched" by this is delusional, and is simply hoping that others see them the way they see themselves. This movie is made for people that don't enjoy movies themselves, but enjoy talking about movies in a bid to appear intellectual.Overall, I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone. It just isn't special, it isn't that funny, and at 2 hours at 30 minutes, it overstays it's welcome by at least 1 hour and 15 minutes. Don't sit through this and groan in embarrassment for most of it like I did. It's just not worth it.

This film tells the story of a museum curator's life.It is a long film. Though there are enough events to fill the screen time, the events aren't gripping or captivating. They are events that are a little out of the ordinary in the mundane life. Some events are thought provoking, some are frustrating and some have unintended consequences. Overall, it is a film to think about and process.

The movie was based in Europe so I expected it will involve the art-culture crap. And I was right about art-culture but it was't crap in littlest. Movie takes its pace in first half hour with most brilliant pick pocket scene, this 3-4 minute gem was something I had never witnessed before. After this the protagonist ( a museum supervisor) tries to balance his career and allay the chaos he created to get back his belongings. Both branches have piquing incidents especially the fund raiser event with gorilla-man, the one shown in the poster. My god, I have seldom been uncomfortable to a degree that this act had invoked. Cinematography and music work in synergy to create a calm but instills trepidation. Movie is about art and itself proves to be an art. Acting by all the characters are close to perfect. Ending was abrupt as it usually is in these sort of films.Movie is awesome absolutely, but one can watch it once only.I suggest, watch it till it's fresh otherwise people have tendency to forget these and are rarely discussed during coffee breaks.

The square touches upon so many aspects of contemporary life - is a hilarious satire of the world of modern art & critics; of political correctedness, diversity & societal inclusion; of public trust and moral dilemmas; of power dynamics in the office; of millennials, social media and viral digital media; of love, gender and parenthood. If you expect a straight storyline, you will be disappointed; the narrative is as inconsistent and fragmented as the human psyche and the societal aspects which it brushes in an unpretentious manner. The highly renowned and controversial dinner scene is perhaps one of the bravest experiments in the genre, and is, undoubtedly, the highlight of the movie. The Square may be considered satirical, bizarre, and hilarious at times - but it would be to misleading to call it a comedy. In fact, any attempt to bracket it within a particular genre would be a mistake. Not only it is not an artsy movie, but on the contrary, it is a superb mockery of elitist art.
