A very good movie

Since I kept hearing some really good things about this movie, I was really eager to check it out. Well, I wasn't disappointed as Thomas Vinterberg has delivered one of his strongest movies so far. Indeed, personally, I have always been intrigued about our current obsession about pedophilia and this movie gave me some really interesting insights about our current approach about such issues. I mean, it is something absolutely dreadful but it has always been around and, in the past, it was a rather taboo  subject but,  nowadays, we are not supposed to trust anyone with our children, even people close to us, resulting in the massive hysteria  displayed in this movie. But that's the whole problem here. Wouldn't it be really awful to not believe a child who was really a victim? But, on the other hand, to make an innocent man such a monster might be just as terrible. I was actually amazed that the adults would keep repeating that kids always tell the truth which is something I don't  believe at all (I do have 3 children by the way). The reality is actually much more subtle. Basically, depending on the right circumstances, a child  might tell you anything, it could be the truth, a lie, but usually,  they will try to tell the adults exactly  what they want to hear, which was exactly what happened in this movie. I must admit that I was really amazed that the guy would still live  there after everything he has been through. In his case, I would have just taken off and try to start over somewhere else, instead of staying with this people who never believed or trusted him. And, the very last scene which  I found tricky  to analyse tells me that it would have been indeed a wiser choice. To conclude, I thought it was a fascinating drama and it is definitely worth a look.
