HollywoodChicago.com film review: 'Funny Games' with Naomi Watts

Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on March 15, 2008 - 6:04pm.

HollywoodChicago.com film critic Patrick McDonald says in his 4.5 out of 5.0 review of the new film “Funny Games” with Naomi Watts:

This is cinematic gamesmanship that is simultaneously brutal, bizarre and elegant in its audacity. Like his previous film “Caché” in 2005, director Michael Haneke has artistically exploited cinematic structure to play with and engage the mind. It’s a very funny game indeed.
