Joey T @RT80268553 Jun 23, 2025 Fixed the overview: The Hypnosis is a sharp satire of startup culture’s obsession with branding and performative authenticity, capturing the anxiety and chaos of millennial ambition. But beneath the glossy surface lies a deeply unsettling portrait of a toxic relationship—where control, manipulation, and emotional abuse undermine true connection. Vera’s struggle reveals how personal trauma can be hidden behind the polished facades of work and partnership. Ernst De Geer’s debut doesn’t just critique culture; it exposes the messy, painful realities that are often ignored See more Bob A @RT81730334 Mar 24, 2025 Excellent film. Uncomfortable, but brilliantly observed human situations. True (dark) comedy. Highly recommended. See more David Lee K @RT17066284 Oct 7, 2024 The Hypnosis, directed by first-time filmmaker Ernst De Geer, is a delightful Swedish dark comedy that brilliantly captures social awkwardness with sharp wit and a fresh perspective. A must see! See more julie b @RT59310387 Sep 19, 2024 3.7/5. There’s something tonally that I love about Scandinavian movies; they’ve perfected quirky. I found this very funny and key scenes (e.g., puppy scenes) had me laughing out loud. The awkwardness and desperation in the networking, the performative-ness, and the intellectualization of everything were all spot on. Also, both leads are excellent but I have to extra applaud Asta Kamma August. However, there are competing ideas / messages that distract from, and therefore somewhat weaken, one another and the overall plot. Slightly underbaked but close to being awesome!! Great debut from Ernst de Geer!! “I’m a stray dog. From Portugal” “It’s different being a clown in France” See more Read all reviews
