Dir. Anders Thomas Jensen
In Danish with English subtitles
Rating: [R]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy, Drama / Black Comedy

Feat. Mads Mikkelsen, Ulrich Thomsen, Paprika Steen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas

Aroview: Roguishly sardonic Danish black comedy about a sanguine country vicar (CASINO ROYALE’s Mikkelsen) who encounters resistance from a neo-Nazi while trying to give an assortment of no-hopers and misfits a second chance.

Although the mordant gags may not be to everyone’s taste, the humour of social friction is deftly handled, while the straightforward surface gradually reveals slyly perceptive angles on societal dregs and the nature of redemption.

4 stars (Very Good) This is a rare film indeed. It has charm, humour, wit, justice, and a story that is made to tell. I really liked it, and found both the characters and the story all good fun. ~Davidicus

5 stars (Exceptional) Darkly comedic one moment, gripping tenderness the next. I laughed out loud. Must be my Danish heritage. A must have in a collection. For those moments in life when you should laugh for release. Love it love it. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) It tackles the hardest genre of them all - the black comedy - there is no half way house - you either succeed or fail. The excellent & original script writing is delivered to perfection by some wonderfully drawn characters. ~Tubbs
