Marie Kreutzer’s film deconstructs traditional social and familial norms. By subverting the patriarchal family unit and embracing moral relativism, it challenges the stability of Western domestic structures. While it shifts the focus to female characters, the narrow demographic scope limits its overall score.

Feelings just aren’t Gruber’s cup of tea and now, without having asked for them, he has more than ever before…
