Summary

Christian, the well-meaning curator of a Stockholm contemporary art museum, prepares to launch a provocative new installation called The Square, which proclaims a sanctuary of trust and altruism. When his phone is stolen and he tracks it to an apartment building, his clumsy attempt at retrieval sets off a chain of personal and professional humiliations that test the very ideals his museum is promoting.

Released in 2017, The Square is a comedy and drama film. Its comedy subtype is Dramedy.

198 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 199 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 493 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus.
