Though general viewer may not appreciate the slow burn or bit art-house nature of the film but Haneke fan won't be disappoint for his usual rich & beautiful direction and the film's cold & dark atmospheric mood. Both the actors on the lead did a great job, particularly Emmanuelle Riva (85), who has become the oldest nominee ever in the Best Actress category in Academy Award and I would love to see her win this time.

Can't wait to see this.
It's also funny how this year we have the oldest Best Actress nominee, as well as the youngest, Quvenzhané Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild.
