"The Square" centers on an adulterous couple whose scheming leads to arson, blackmail and murder. Escaping the monotony of a loveless marriage, Raymond becomes entangled in an affair with the beautiful and troubled Carla. Ray's moral limits are tested when Carla presents him with the proceeds of her controlling husband's latest crime. This is their chance: Take the money and run. If only it were that simple. The seed is planted and Ray, fearing he will lose his love, engineers the plan. The plan goes horribly wrong, but, still, nobody knows. Then, the first blackmail note arrives.

Most helpful review The Square

One to watch!

By a customer from London , 01 Feb 2010

[Highly rated reviewer]

Saw this in Oz and was very disappointed that no one else had heard of it, let alone seen it when I got home. This is a well written, brilliantly acted and directed film. I don't know if its just me but I liked the basic settings and the almost docutmentary style feel to it. (It was a breath of fresh air to the over produced hollywood blockbusters) Admittedly it has a slow build but there is always another twist coming and it plays out well in the end! Well worth seeing, one of the best Australian movies I've seen n a while.

Not much Christmas spirit in Oz!

By Xenon (8 reviews) from Bognor Regis , 14 Nov 2011

We had not heard of this film until we caught it on Film 4 last night. What an amazing film. It showed how easy it could be to go from adultery to robbery, then ..... We were kept guessing until the end as to the outcome. All the actors were very good and believable in their parts. The Sydney suburb settings were interesting having picnics in a park at Christmas!

Critic's review above is about a completely different (and Chinese directed by Zhang Yuan) film - this film is Australian directed by Nash Edgerton
