This jet-black comedy from Dutch director Alex van Warmerdam concerns a nasty woman named Emma Blank (Marlies Heuer). A crabby geriatric who lives in a seaside villa and is gradually withering away from cancer, she treats her servants like dogs. Her constant browbeating pushes them beyond the point of indignation and ultimately threatens to incite a small-scale rebellion. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Two brothers lead an interesting double life in this Dutch drama. Leen and Albert lead normal dull lives during the day. They are married to sisters. At night the brothers step out of their lives and hit the streets. There they quietly follow people and observe their actions. They take careful notes about the way people change in the night. Some of the changes the see are routine, and some, quite bizarre. These observations form the basis of interesting conversations. The brother's daily lives do have one quirk. Leen has been in love with Albert's wife, Paula, from the start. The gracious Albert allows Leen 15 minutes per day to pretend he is Paula's wife while his own wife takes her morning shower. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Although at no point are the viewers given any hint of what the ongoing interrogation of the woman in this film is about, or what she is accused of, reviewers found this somewhat abstract dramatic study in investigation and questioning unusually absorbing. In addition to the accused, numerous witnesses to the never-disclosed crime are questioned in a similarly enigmatic fashion in their homes and apartments. Later, the witnesses are brought together into a large room, where they are confronted again. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
