Essentially a film about Rudolf Höss and his family in the early 1940s, going about their lives in their nice house right next door to Auschwitz. HILARITY ENSUES (very much not so)
It won't be for everyone, and I've seen our Ellie indicate that she wasn't a fan elsewhere on here, but I found it compelling and quietly chilling. It's meandering but that always felt justified to me, and other than a bit that's shot in a weird photonegative way which just felt like Glazer trying not to be too conventional for the sake of it, I thought it was done really well and deserves the awards nods it's had.
Also despite spending nearly 3 hours looking at her face yesterday I didn't recognise Sandra Hüller one bit, and was aghast when the end credits rolled. I found her MUCH MORE INTERESTING
