Über diesen Film

Based on Herman Koch’s international bestselling novel, Oren Moverman’s THE DINNER is a dark psychological thriller about a fierce showdown between two couples during the course of an ornately prepared meal at a fancy restaurant. When Stan Lohman (Richard Gere), a popular congressman running for governor, invites his troubled younger brother Paul (Steve Coogan) and his wife Claire (Laura Linney) to join him and his wife Katelyn (Rebecca Hall) for dinner at one of the town’s most fashionable restaurants, the stage is set for a tense night. While Stan and Paul have been estranged since childhood, their 16-year- old sons are friends, and the two of them have committed a horrible crime that has shocked the country. While their sons’ identities have not yet been discovered and may never be, their parents must now decide what action to take. As the night proceeds, beliefs about the true natures of the four people at the table are upended, relationships shatter, and each person reveals just how far they are willing to go to protect those they love. A riveting story filled with many shocking twists and turns, THE DINNER is a chilling parable about the savage reality hidden beneath the surface of middle-class lives.

This movie was horrible, I wasted my money. I don't usually rate movies but it was parents covering up a horrible crime. Those boys could have walked away. The not only abused her mentally but also physically. Then they set her on fire and watched her burned while video taping. Where are the morals, love and respect for human life regardless if their status!

Tale of Modern Culture I feel that the film is similar to Beatriz at Dinner. However, I believe that The Dinner is told better. Characterization is built and suspense is mounted throughout the courses of the meal. I love how each dish symbolizes a phase in the discussion! I think that the story is relatable. Youth are reliant on the internet and parents are not perfect. I rated the movie one less star than perfect because I wanted more after the credits! Alas, I do not feel that there will be a sequel.

Exactly why rich people's kids (and some parents) should be bankrupted and thrown out into the cold shitty streets to learn about REAL life. AFFLUENZA MY ASS (just a BS excuse to pay off the judge and prosecutor). Rich kids don't know how to properly live, spend, be kind and PAY BACK MONEY BORROWED WITH FAKE PROMISES OF I'LL PAY YA BACK! EAT THE RICH! ps - REBECCA'S HOT in this one OOoOOmmHHhhMommma I want to DIDDLE BASKET that gorgeous soft poonAAAAni *HUGS*
