I've been toying with the idea of watching this lately. IT seems as though all the good films on Netflix right now are foreign language films. I guess i'll just have to put my glasses on!

Please do, I think mainstream rankings may have not done good in reviewing the movie appropriately. I think it's a similar clash of audiences and underrating as it happened back then with Equilibrium (2002).

just finished watching it a few hours ago and I found it to be pretty great. There are some annoying aspects of it like early on when they lose their daughter like 4 times in a row and the whole reason why they stick around in the hotel is because they can't find their daughter. Hold her friggin hand for crissakes.
Other than that the overall story of the film is actually pretty great and as it ends, we are shown the ominous truth of the situation... that the guy who was running the hotel, may have been correct. (i've intentionally been very vague to avoid spoilers, but you know what i am talking about)
Even days after it I had a good laugh about how naive one can be believing that the business model is working by selling merchandise 🤣

Even if they hadn't lost her, I don't think they would have left earlier because curiosity about a better life would have been stronger. Even the very first scene of the earring during dinner could have been reinterpreted in how materialistic and needy we are for luxuries, to draw together the pigs through perls. The director might be definitely right when we consider replacing a patriarchy with matriarchy, wouldn't change a lot in general, maybe just some details in the "management processing"
