A real drama. Or even classical tragedy and more of a theater play than a movie. I may not like the creeping leftist undertones, but I have to bow down before the quality of writing.

Vinterberg chooses the easy way by picking the most sensitive issue and playing on it. But he delivers, and delivers well by keeping it mostly simple. Not outstanding but powerful and needs watching.

Like a home video gone horribly wrong. The Dogme 95 style gives this film a realism and presence unmatched.

The rough Dogme style is a brilliant framework for such challenging, uncomfortable drama, bringing to the screen an uncommon immediacy and realness. Vinterberg brings matters to the boil with the careful patience of a master craftsman, and his film becomes heart-poundingly tense once it gets going, while still finding the time for the odd blackly comic aside to test its squirming audience even further. Every reaction is completely genuine to its character, and each actor perfectly cast.

There's a strong film statement in here, but I admit some surprise that the first Dogme film seems a lot less radical than I anticipated. It could have been effectively unsettling, but I leave it to the imagination to fill the gaps, where for me it starts the same and ends like Riget.
