Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Clifton Johnson Fascinating and absorbing. From the score to the non-speaking parts to the beautiful mountain shots, every moment supports the central question and the central characters' journey. It's a film built for discussion...like a Linklater movie but with more plot and tension. The pacing was off at points, but almost everything else was just right.

Leofwine_draca On release, FORCE MAJEURE was widely applauded as a bleak Swedish comic drama, in which a father's act of cowardice during a family skiing holiday has powerful repercussions for his place in the family. It sounded good, but having just endured watching it, I can report that the praise is unfounded. This is a simple character drama, of the type they make so many of, and it has little to recommend it. The events depicted early on are surprisingly trivial, and the film fails to make the protagonists in any way likable, so watching them argue, fight, and cry is a real chore. The actor from GAME OF THRONES is the only thing I liked about this slow, slight, and uninteresting tale, which is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

dakjets A different movie experience This film addresses both gender roles, intercourse issues and how to deal with crises. The movie is good, but demanding to watch. The actors do a great job, especially the main actors as the couple who are really put to the test. When I saw this movie it is easy to think how one would react in different situations. For example, it's a little odd to me that the husband getting faster and clearly confronted by his wife. But she tries in her own way. The tension rises between them. The film therefore also provides insights into reactions and how people handle unpleasant episodes in close relationships. There is no fuss on such, but this couple is not good at it, to express it in one way. The score are also used very effective. The film is slow and a well-performed movie drama

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . as it led to the job termination of Ima Hogg, USA TODAY's final full-time film critic, and perhaps America's last major print media movie reviewer. Ms. Hogg's career suicide kicked off when she included FORCE MAJEURE on her 2014 "Top Ten" listing. To make room for FORCE MAJEURE, Ms. Hogg had to leave such Crowd Pleasers as AMER!CAN SNIPER, MOCKINGJAY, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, CAPTAIN AMER!CA: WINTER SOLDIER, and THE LEGO MOVIE off her Top Ten Honor Roll. "What's wrong with that?" you might argue, "Everyone's entitled to her own opinion!" Reading between the lines, what vexed the brass at USA TODAY and many other major media outlets with female "film critics" was their consistent string of superlatives heaped upon FORCE MAJEURE as it penetrated the film fest circuit from Cannes to Canada. Sometimes Payola can take the form of a Booty Call in the arms of some Swedish PR Flac dude built like Thor. Otherwise, no one in her right mind would put MAJEURE's yawner of a Swedish Meatball in their top 250 flicks-of-the-year list, let alone within sniffing distance of Top Ten Anything. If made by Americans, the only distinction coming the way of FORCE MAJEURE would have been multiple Razzie Awards.
