On the eve of World War I in a Protestant village in northern Germany, a series of unexplained events - the village doctor's horse is tripped over when he's out riding, the baron's son is abducted, a woman dies in a mysterious accident - lead to growing waves of suspicion, envy and doubt overwhelming the inhabitants while the school-teacher as the only outsider in the village tries to get to the bottom of what's been going on. |

Total Film - Jamie Graham | Screenrush Barometer:  |
| 'Haneke's 11th feature is his biggest and boldest to date, his best too. And for all its formal, thematic precision ? rigorous compositions, measured pacing, potent symbolism ? it is, ostensibly, a taut and sinister whodunit.' |
| Little White Lies - Dan Stewart | Screenrush Barometer: |
| 'Time will tell if it is Haneke's masterpiece, but it is certainly one of the finest films of the year.' |
