Richard Brody in The New Yorker was highly critical of the movie “Wild Tales” by the Argentinian director Damián Szifron: “Each of the segments involves violence and illustrates the arrogance of the wealthy and powerful, but their moralizing is as facile as the plotting is mechanical. The deliberate pacing is calculated to underline the swerves in the script, which offers little in the way of context or characterization. Szifron’s brightly lit theatrics and simplistic attitudes seem borrowed from television commercials.”

I didn’t see much moralizing, and simplistic attitudes, if you want you can insist that the Greek tragedies consist of simplistic attitudes.

“Wild Tales” had one of the best wedding scenes I've seen in years; it was much more interesting than an overhyped hyped movie like “Max Max” but yes, “Wild Tales” didn’t do much to comfort the enlightened bourgeoisie with their self-congratulating convictions.

There’s no solution, but there is always revenge.
