niutta-enrico This comment is mainly about Anders Thomas Jensen and his incredible talent. If you check out his titles you will be impressed by the quantity and the outstanding quality of what he has already written. And by the variety of themes he touched.In the present movie (which he also directed) he shows the world what a creative author can realize with a handful of actors, one church, one hospital and a couple of cars…The film is original, catching and endearing. The acting is convincing and the long lasting impression you'll get is that you have watched a story whose plot was somehow predictable and yet it surprised you.

Armand it is comedy. but its root id deep and bitter. it is a moral lesson but in a special form. it is version of Job story but the details and the way to say it is almost unique. it is picture of new Raskolnikov adventure but the character is not exactly Dostoyevski product. touching, delicate, strong. a kind of poem, half-kind of fairy-tall, the Adam apples is demonstration of inspired acting. sure, Mads Mikkelson is not a surprise, but the nuances of measure, the wise science to transform each detail of priest character is impressive. and Ulrich Thomsen gives a great testimony about fight of evil. it is a very good film because it is out of ordinaries traps. not sentimental , cruel but nice, religious but page of humanist message, delicate but precise, game of delicate problems but bright. realistic but poetic. a really interesting work. and exercise for respect of measure in a special subject case.

lionel-libson-1 Until I saw this film last night, I thought that Bjork was the ultimate in significant meaninglessness. A new standard has emerged. If I didn't know the heroic role of the Danes during WWII, I'd have been less annoyed by the passive passion and empty moralizing.The Book of Job plays a role in defining the action, and might have added a powerful message about man vs. God. Unfortunately, the writer seems to have skipped the poetic climax of this scriptural story."Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?", God replies to the torment of Job. Archibald MacLeish and Tom Paine understood the magnitude of this question. Few things are as frustrating as a script that is overwhelmed by the concept it addresses.Even the "assault" on Big Oil is trivialized as a ransacking of a filling station, making victims, not of the Wealthy, but of their underpaid employees.The Director has managed to place an emotional filter between the viewer and the screen. Do we care? Is there a connection? Perhaps for those pathetic individuals who gather stoically around a traffic accident. I think I should lie down and wait for my feelings to subside.

Nawin Ahmad Great movie I just saw this movie yet another time today, and i have to say that it blew me away - even though i have watched this movie over and over. The great element of this movie is the fact that it is deals with major issues such as forgiveness, denial etc. Forget about stupid mainstream b-movies this is the real deal. A great movie with a greater meaning, which you will remember many years after watching this movie. I hope this will encourage other people to watch this movie. This is one the best danish movies i've ever seen and i think that's why it has been translated into other languages. 10/10
