Hypnotic and one of a kind. Sort of perfect.

Playtime is wonderfully controlled and contrived, with deep-focus scenes of surreality that must surely have inspired Roy Andersson.

Teknisk og visuelt en af de mest imponerende film nogensinde, fans a Wes Andersons film kan se hvor han har lært en stor del af sine tricks. Det skal dog også siges at filmen, med en længde over 2 timer, er noget udmattende.
