The Square Reviews
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The whole experience is rough going: sometimes numbing, sometimes horrifying, sometimes merely baffling. There's a kind of artful artlessness at work here
Detroit News
Tom Long
An examination of social context, elitism, cultural bubbles and more, The Square is - to put it precisely - absolutely bonkers. But purposefully bonkers.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's funny throughout - not to say that it inspires many laughs, but it's full of irony and absurdity and is very smart.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
As overindulgent as it is, The Square is a darkly humorous and horrific mirror to our culture.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
Ruben Östlund's ('Force Majeure') latest feature is a blistering satire of the modern art world, and features a sequence that will make your jaw completely drop.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The good parts of The Square - and there are quite a few of them - can't overcome the weaknesses, making this a decidedly mixed bag.
(All (Parentheses))
Keith Uhlich
The Square foregrounds a dilemma at the core of artistic practice: as moving and influential as it can be, art too often exists in a realm separated from "real life," cordoned off as safely "consumable" entertainment. -Guest post by Michael Joshua Rowin
Uproxx
Keith Phipps
It's a satire keeps the camera rolling after the punchline to allow time for the full, uncomfortable implication of the joke to settle.
The Ringer
K. Austin Collins
Ruben Östlund's latest film skewers artists and their patrons, immigrants and natives, and even the homeless. But it exemplifies the kind of middle-class, middle-brow, liberal intellectualism it's supposed to be mocking.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
Östlund gets at the what makes a movie like 'The Square' seem even more provocative than it is: We love the idea that art should be confrontational. But we don't really like to be confronted by it.
Associated Press
Jake Coyle
The Square, where the enlightened and well-heeled are always gliding past beggars, remains a potent satire.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Swedish director Ruben Ostlund's art-world satire is frustratingly hit-and-miss. But when it hits, this slapstick tragedy will knock the wind out of you.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
This is a sly social satire that demands patience from its audience, but like last year's Toni Erdmann, there are ample rewards for those who stay the course. I wish The Square was shorter, but its major set pieces are brilliant.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
[A] wickedly funny film, which is mostly about a feeling problem-the gap between what we think we feel, as kind and caring people, and the deeds we actually do.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
The argument in favor of The Square is not that it's great fun to watch, but that it's very entertaining to ponder after viewing. It lingers, both amusingly and disturbingly.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
For all its stylishness and sophistication, "The Square" never adds up to more than its very attractive parts.
TheWrap
Inkoo Kang
Lands its bullseyes, over and over, with a faultless precision that grows duller with each strike.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
"The Square" is ultimately a long version of Christian's rambling apology, ostentatiously smart, maybe too much so for its own good, but ultimately complacent, craven and clueless.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
It affirms that art, this movie very much included, can tell us things about ourselves that we'd prefer not to know.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
It tries so hard to tweak the audience, it virtually breaks a sweat.
