Our take

Wealthy American siblings rot in a Spanish villa in this adults-only dark comedy. Irish censors flag strong violence, sexual and coercive violence, explicit sex, nudity, drugs and language. Incest, murder and psychosexual cruelty are played for shock. Dialogue stays graphic throughout, including crude sexual insults and references to killing a parent. Only for mature viewers who already seek transgressive arthouse satire.

Story (may spoil tone)

In a Spanish villa, American siblings Jack, Ed, Anna and Robert wallow in isolation and their inherited fortune. When Jack wants to move in with his girlfriend and Ed uncovers the truth about their mother’s death, the fabric of the family begins to unravel.

Talk after watching

  • The film satirizes patriarchal families — does its shock humor say anything meaningful, or does it just pile on taboos?
  • Ed uncovering how their mother died drives the plot — how do families handle buried secrets in real life versus on screen?
