Also I do agree too many reviews are like "this is about the banality of evil and compartmentalisation" when I think actually as the film progresses the point is you might think that to start then you see how the family are extremely aware of what is going on and actively indulging in and supporting it.

I appreciate how the film uses sleep to get across who is truly complicit and comfortable with the horrors on the other side of the wall. The parents are the only ones we see sleep soundly. Hedwig's mother is shown unable to sleep and staring in horror out the window. The sons stay up at night distracting themselves by playing. The little girl just sits in the dark, blankly staring off into space. But those parents, sleeping without a care.
