Nothing Bad Can Happen uses its protagonist's punishing ordeal to pose questions about faith that are well worth considering, even if the film can't quite answer them.

Gebbe elicits strong performances from her actors and succeeds in inspiring a certain sick fascination with the material, yet the film's oppressive unpleasantness yields no new insights into psychology or religious faith. Jul 7, 2014 | Full Review…

Pitting good against evil with striking intelligence and a near-operatic commitment to extreme suffering, Ms. Gebbe neither mocks nor celebrates Tore's love for his God. Jul 3, 2014 | Full Review…

Its world is so remote, its characters behavior so unexplained - despite the fact that the film is based on true events - that our connection to the story slackens significantly over time. Jun 26, 2014 | Full Review…

A revenge flick where the hero refuses vengeance. We want that catharsis, but if Tore ever stopped turning the other cheek, he'd lose the only thing he has left: forgiveness Jun 26, 2014 | Rating: A+ | Full Review…

Nothing Bad Can Happen is one of the smartest, most heartbreaking films of the year. Gebbe has meticulously crafted a film that knows exactly what it is, what it needs to say, and what it wants from its audience. Mar 17, 2017 | Full Review…

It may seem counterintuitive, but at some point the horrors become so heinous that you almost have to believe in God for any of it to make sense. Mar 7, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Writer-director Katrin Gebbe rubs viewers' faces in this dog dish of a film, with the promise that some sliver of transcendence will redeem it. But it's all dog dish. Jul 1, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
