Amour - Recenzje

It’s about the indignities of growing old and the inevitability of death...

...has a lesson for us that only the cinema can teach: the cinema, with its heedless ability to leap across time and transcend lives and dramatize what it means to be a member of humankind's eternal audience.

...Haneke’s rigorous insistence upon emotional honesty means that no tear shed is unearned, no feeling manipulated (there is, for example, no non-diegetic music), and that the film is, crucially, devoid of sentiment.

Filmen er et mesterligt kammerspil om alderdommens deroute, sprogets forsvinding, kroppens nedbrydning og sindets invalidering.

Instruktørens geni friholder ham fra enhver sentimentalitet og gør filmmediet til et værktøj, han med eminent håndelag bruger til at afdække detaljens skarpe poesi og medrivende kraft.

Det är en bra film. Inåtvänd, men bra.

...an unsentimental portrait of the indignities of a body – and a shared life – in decline.
