I remember it quite well, at one of my previous jobs, I was discussing movies with a colleague and, according to him, I should really check some Danish movies, including this one. To be honest, I don’t think I was completely blown away like my colleague was but I thought it was still pretty good. Above all, the cast and especially Mads Mikkelsen gave some very good performances and the directing was solid as well. I don’t know, I guess the story was interesting enough but it didn’t completely work for me. I mean, even though it was a strong story, I still think that the whole thing was rather far-fetched and, therefore, I wasn’t really able to take it completely seriously. Eventually, a couple of years ago, Susanne Bier would get the opportunity to work on ‘Serena’, a really ambitious project starring both Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, easily two of the most in-demand actors right now, but eventually, the whole thing turned out to be a huge failure, commercially and critically. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, in spite of its flaws, it remains a very good drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Danish movies.
