oconnors2nz As an actor myself, you see films where you just don't care about the obstacles and challenges of the characters'. With Copenhagen, one of those little gems you find every so often on Netflix (NZ in this case), I was emotionally invested in all the main characters'. Self discovery in abundance here, particularly with Will (Gethin Anthony), who succumbs to the charms of 14 year old 'Effy', touchingly portrayed by Frederikke Dahl Hansen. I'm sure she has a bright career ahead of her. Poignant moments' of familial connection (or lack of) draws the viewer in against the picturesque backdrop of Denmark. A real discovery to find the principal males', Will and Jeremy (Sebastian Armesto) are both English. I am so glad I stumbled across this beautiful piece of film-making. It is a piece of hope, regret and ultimately, a reminder of how life is too short and that sometimes, it takes someone else to open our eyes to the possibilities.

rick-morgan9063 I watched this film some time ago, and the reviews are largely very positive, but I wanted to add my rating and comments in the hope that more will watch this film. We have Effie from Copenhagen, fourteen going on twenty, who helps a rude, immature Will from the USA on a visit to find his Danish roots and have 'fun' in the process. What makes this film special is the superlative acting, the pace and the juxtaposition of an immature adult man bonding with a wise and well balanced Danish girl of just fourteen years of age. Many of the reviews regarding this film state that it left a lasting impression on them, and I can see why. Treat yourself and watch this film.

kuan-joe When I picked up this movie, I thought how two different age people touring around Copenhagen looking for someone can be interesting for 90+ mins. However, I never felt bored with the whole movie. In fact, the movie draws my attention so deep that you feel you are in their situation. The movie also shows how truly beautiful Copenhagen is.True talents to both characters but the real gem is how the director/writer crafted those intriguing small talks between them. This movie is an art.

Kirpianuscus not surprising. but beautiful in a special manner. a simple story about search of origins and a meeting. and the admirable performance of Frederikke Dahl Hansen, the interesting portrait of foreign lost in different space by Gethin Anthony. romance. and delicate build of questions. because it is a film, like many others from same genre, about the small details. about need of other, about past, about clash between two different ways to discover the truth. and the great thing, maybe the challenge, is the option to present, with different nuances, the same story, exploring roots, imposing solutions and crisis and confuse feelings from contemporary every day situations. that film who discover shadows. with grace. and high precision. romance. but only as skin. the heart is more interesting.
