Visually stunning but messy moral message.

Rating: 6/10 (2 February 2020)

The film keeps the viewer in suspense until the very end. Visually stunning, with the actors' play easy to believe.
However the moral side of the message the movie is trying to deliver, if any, is less clear. The plot contrasts two families, poor and rich. We do not know the background of their social status so the viewer cannot judge them based on it.
Both families want the best for their relatives, they are kind to them, they both presumably want to work to earn for their families (the rich wife does not need to).
This is where the similarities end. The dividing line between the families is not that that one is cunning and the other is mostly naive, not that one is squeamish and the other is untidy. The difference is that the boy from the poor family is ready to kill his competitor hidden in the basement and the father of the poor family does kill his counterpart for what he perceives as a top-down view based on social inequality.
Despite such drastically different moral standing, the movie equalizes the families by leaving one member of each family dead. Of course, it does not happen in life that the evil is punished and the good is rewarded. However the movie leaves the feeling that everything is random and pointless.
