With his trademark extreme wide shots and long muted scenes, Michael Haneke again turns his audience into sociopathic voyeurs as he coldly picks apart a French bourgeois family in the same way a bird of prey might annihilate the carcass of a sparrow, but the dread and anxiety you experience while watching this film probably stems more from your expectations from watching Haneke's other films than from anything going on in this less involving of the director's works.
