Top CriticFor all intents and purposes a film noir of classic proportions, The Square has such a good story it deserves to be seen without knowing too many details about the plot. So I'll avoid plot points, but to say that it is driven by love, betrayal, greed %u20

Top CriticIt’s filled with tasty elements, intriguing characters and a strong sense of place
07/31/08
Top CriticThe script is neatly plotted, though not without flaws. Some developments occur in a rush, as if to distract us from asking inconvenient questions.
07/31/08
Top CriticThough it falls ever so short of being tagged as great, this accomplished and genuinely gripping crime drama is worthy of your time, money and attention.
07/31/08
Top CriticThe Edgerton Brothers have come up with a terrific and wonderfully accessible film in which human nature is put under the magnifying glass with detrimental outcomes.
