“An oddball two-and-a-half hour provocation, the film begins ostensibly as a satire of Sweden’s modern art scene before expanding outward to reveal larger, wobblier aims. Östlund’s Force Majeure gleefully dismantled its protagonist’s unearned machismo, and The Square similarly takes a wrecking ball to our hero’s blithe delusions of noblesse oblige.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 11/02/2017
