The film is so funny, so dark, so tightly wound, and its level of craftsmanship so high, that it draws no line between entertainment and substance.October 09, 2015
Once again, Warmerdam succeeds in creating a perfect, absurd mix of very realistic action and very unrealistic sequences of cause-and-effect, the accumulation of which fuels the plot.July 04, 2016
Alex van Warmerdam knows how to play with your expectations with lots of acid humor and a tone that takes you by surprise, making good use of the cliches in the genre. [Full review in Spanish]September 19, 2015
The film is too busy getting tangled in its plot to throw any proper emotional punches or hit home with themes of bad parenting and dangers beyond closed doors. But it's not lacking in entertainment, that's for sure.February 20, 2016
Hardly the titillating thrill ride you might expect from its premise.August 09, 2015
Schneider vs. Bax is one of those violent, twisty comedies whose slick telling (smooth pans, subtle tracks, surgical cuts) offsets the nonsensical premise.
