I loved this movie, the black flogged was not a metaphor because the movie was as never about the black fog it’s about what it represents. And some of you guys are mad about the subtitles. If you don’t speak French you kind of need them lol. .

Very depressing. Slow, heavy, bleak. Well done.

It's not as bad as people claim. It's just a dark movie with a bleak premise.

If you stop and think for a bit this movie makes more sense than the people whining about it will lead you to believe. A bleak survival situation based solely off of the creature comforts we all take for granted. But, what happens when you can't leave the apartment building? Ever... Tribalism at its finest. This particular French movie won't be for everyone. And, to the racist who conveniently forgot that this movie touches on white tribalism too, it was just as harsh with white people, and with Christians. Your ignorance won't change that fact.

Little torn on this one. The exploration into the breakdown of civilization was great but it lacked any worthwhile payoff. The atmosphere is palpable and bleak, leaving you feeling just as drained and depressed as the characters. Felt like an excuse to show the horrible lengths that people will go to for the sake of survival but somehow still failed in its goal and struggled to find much purpose beyond that point. Not a great movie if you plan to get things done afterward.
