An examination of social context, elitism, cultural bubbles and more, The Square is - to put it precisely - absolutely bonkers. But purposefully bonkers. December 8, 2017 | Rating: A | Full Review…

It's funny throughout - not to say that it inspires many laughs, but it's full of irony and absurdity and is very smart. November 10, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The Square is a bit too cynical for its own good, but reaffirms my belief that the future of cinema can be found in Scandinavia. January 27, 2020 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
