“Rory Kinnear and Lyndsey Marshal are part of a great cast assembled by Michael Longhurst for Tim Price’s much delayed stage version of Ruben Ostlund’s movie about a family whose attempt to get away from it all and spend some quality time together is catastrophically derailed by an avalanche. But it is not its physical consequences so much as the emotional fault-lines in family relationships which are laid bare in a movie that is both sardonic and scathing about human beings and also moving. If Price and Longhurst can pull that off on stage (and how will designer Jon Bausor deal with that avalanche?) we should be in for an icy treat.”
