“A potent, disturbing work that explores the boundaries of political correctness, artistic liberty and free speech in provocative ways”~Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

Aroview: A smart and ambitious art world satire from the director of FORCE MAJEURE set in and around a cutting-edge contemporary art museum, where a respected curator confidently commissions a ridiculous art installation, but the theft of his smart phone threatens to send him spiraling into existential crisis.

A poignant reflection on the pretension and stupidity of modern society, expressed with an appropriately disconcerting blend of surreal and slapstick comedy.

0 star (Not rated) I haven't seen this yet but my mum couldn't stop talking about it. Every time her friends brought up their nziff views she'd say "have you seen The Square?"rnWednesday maybe. ~Catapillar

1 star (Turkey) I really hated this! Pretension without redemption. A superficial film showing cruel people doing stupid things. Uninformative, if paralleling the NZ government today! ~Sandy
