Until now.
This is a marvelous piece of film making all of you need to check out. It basically follows the disintegration of Mads Mikkelson's character's entire life after a wild allegation from a child snowballs out of control into a full blown scandal that turns an entire community against him. Part of the reason this works so well is Mikkelsons performance here is first rate and should really be considered oscar worthy. The other boon to the film is Vinterbergs assured direction that makes the whole thing incredibly gripping and deals with the subject matter in a mature way.
Please, Please, seek this film out! (though I bet most of you have already  ) |
I have wanted to see this for a while and your words, along with its availability on Netflix, mean it'll be happening sooner rather than later.
