You may have heard that this goes to some gruelling places. What you should also know is that it's one of most skillfully directed dramas not just of recent years but in Danish movie history. Tafdrup and his first-rate cast explore some very interesting themes, and he's in complete control of the tone of his technically accomplished and constantly disconcerting film.

There were a few minor blemishes; mainly some character beats that felt more in service of the plot than believable, but -oh boy- a surprisingly efficient marriage between Danish social realism and pure horror, that creeps under your skin and stays there.

Christian Tafdrup: "I wanted to make the most unpleasant film in Danish history." While the director certainly succeeds (with an overabundance of pure, shocking craftmanship) the mission is also somewhat too easy. Especially when the message is much weaker than your average Haneke serving.

It angered me, annoyed me, made me extremely uncomfortable, and unnerved me. And I enjoyed it very much
