chiponmashoulda The story of a man accused of child molestation and "the hunt" that is a result of that accusation. The performances are astounding all around, not just from Mikelssen, which I've come to expect at this point. This movie is emotionally draining, frustrating and if you're a man, downright scarier than any supernatural horror movie you can think of.I watched this movie months ago, and it resonates for a long time after initial viewing. A real work of art and the ending is perfect. If you haven't watched it, do so immediately.
empire331 Another european film that's different in so many ways than the average today's movies. It's about humanity, about friendship, alienation and loneliness. Unfortunately, for me the whole cast was unknown, besides the leading role, but they all did a very good job, especially little Klara and her father. The story has a natural flow adding tension with every scene until the climax at the very end. Still, the plot is simple but raises so many questions to each one of us. How would I react to such accusation? How would I react being rejected from the society for a stupid reason and for a crime I did not do? Definitely a very good movie dealing with a sensitive subject!
valentinvolland This Danish film is superb. The soundtrack is great and not too intrusive. The acting is fascinating (what else do you expect form Mads Mikkelsen?). I really liked the cinematography, though there were a little to many close-ups and too little wide-angles for my taste. The plot and the themes of the film are very well constructed and make for a suspenceful and thoughtful movie. I would definately recommend to watch this film, though you shouldn't expect a light movie.
haventmadeupmymindyet No wonder why Mads won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, he's fantastic! You should see it. Highly recommend it!
