Summary: Cecilie is devastated when her fiance Joachim is seriously injured in a car accident and is paralysed from the waist down. She begins an affair with Niels, a doctor at the hospital where Joachim is being treated. Their relationship is further complicated by the fact that the doctor's wife Marie was the driver that caused the accident in the first place. (imdb)
Somehow the honesty of the characters navigates us through this minefield of a scenario. Great cast, although I found the Dogme style distracting, even though it probably created the conditions for such intimate and honest performances.

Probably Biers best film. Here she somehow keeps it simple, and lets the movie develop by itself. I think the acting is very pure and the dogme-style suits her fetish for love and its deconstruction of family idyl. It doesn't catch me as other love stories, but it's very pure and honest.
Open Hearts offers you an intense intimacy with its characters, and fleeting moments of Super 8 footage showing the deep desires of the main character brought to the screen particularly furthered how much of an emotional wreck the film made me. As far as the characters are concerned it is an emotional minefield with no escape, with the film's look at love, loss and adultery seeming almost unbearably honest. Sadness born out of happiness born out of sadness.
