What the press has to say:

Peter Hengl’s stunning debut Family Dinner finely balances the beauty and terrors of meat in a slow burning feature that’s cooked so tenderly, it falls right off the bone. - Dread Central

Family Dinner unfurls its methodical slow-burn tale in the days leading up to Easter Sunday, centering volatile relationships and strict, peculiar holiday traditions to create deep-seated psychological dread. - Bloody Disgusting

That Haneke-ian sense of inescapable doom ... it’s super effective brutal stuff. - Pajiba

The film is well written, especially well-directed, and perfectly cast. - Screen Anarchy

Hengl does a fantastic job of creating an immediate sense of unease. - Daily Dead

He co-wrote several works for TV with Marc Schlegel,

including the comedies

Curling für Eisenstadt

&

Man kann nicht alles haben

Together with Lola Basara
