Very unpleasant to watch. Not cause its frightening or shocking or gore/splatter. None of these things. But the accident that happened made the rest of the movie unbearable to watch. Im not sure about the comical parts, doesn't fit well with the rest and it would have worked better without it with more realism and seriousness. But the director probably wanted to light up the movie a little cause the premise is grimm enough. With that saying, for me it felt over the top and silly in some parts, which i didn't like. Compared to hanekes funny games it lacks the suspense and u just want it to be over. So you dont care much what happens after till the reveal happens. I couldn't even focus on their conversations anymore cause i was in such unease the whole time. I can't say if thats good or bad. It really puts you in the situation of the father 1:1, so therefore goal achieved! But its a waste of that very long middle part that you just wanna skip and dont wanna invest watching cause it drags you out that much.

We all can agree that music has the power to bring us back to certain moments. Its attached to specific memories. So this story had potential that wasn't used at all. I can't speak for the full movie cause i stopped watching after an hour of boredom. In that hour i hardly got to know anything about this girl besides her BF died and she revisits some moments with the help of songs. But neither the soundtrack is strong in this movie (its called the greatest hits), but i miss good music here. Also the moments she revisits are dull and boring. Guess she had a very boring relationship with a guy which also stays very one dimensional during the movie and serves almost no purpose. I did not connect with those characters, nor the story, nor the vibe, nor anything. Its a complete missfire from someone who doesn't know how to make a decent movie.
