Critic Reviews for Schneider vs. Bax

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3)

Schneider vs. Bax is one of those violent, twisty comedies whose slick telling (smooth pans, subtle tracks, surgical cuts) offsets the nonsensical premise.

Michael Pattison
Slant Magazine
Schneider vs. Bax is a straight-forward genre tale that borderlines it's surreal sensibility with stark and absurdly dark humor.

Shikhar Verma
High on Films
The mechanics of plot leave less time for casual interactions and character development, which leaves the father-daughter relationship under-explored.

Alex Heeney
Seventh Row
Alex van Warmerdam knows how to play with your expectations with lots of acid humor and a tone that takes you by surprise, making good use of the cliches in the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Alberto Acuña
Cinema Movil
After a mostly quiet film, tension kicks into high gear in the third act, but it ultimately raises more questions than it answers.

Meryl Williams
Willamette Week
Hardly the titillating thrill ride you might expect from its premise.

Raffi Asdourian
The Film Stage
The film is so funny, so dark, so tightly wound, and its level of craftsmanship so high, that it draws no line between entertainment and substance.

Lauren Carroll Harris
Junkee
Once again, Warmerdam succeeds in creating a perfect, absurd mix of very realistic action and very unrealistic sequences of cause-and-effect, the accumulation of which fuels the plot.

Pierre Kapitaniak
Electric Sheep
The film is too busy getting tangled in its plot to throw any proper emotional punches or hit home with themes of bad parenting and dangers beyond closed doors. But it's not lacking in entertainment, that's for sure.
