Trivia:

At a showing at a film festival in Estonia, two of the reels had been switched by a mistake, making a part of the film out of place. Apparantly the majority of the audience didn't notice and was generally very enthusiastic about the movie despite the narrative being mixed up.

Just got home from the cinema ...

It seems incredible, but 'Susanne Bier' (qv) can apparently overdo herself every time! Just when I thought that 'Brødre (2004)' (qv) would simply be the peak of her career, she comes out with this masterpiece! Brilliant actors! Every role in this film is played out so well! Particularly 'Rolf Lassgård' (qv) does a fabulous job. The film has brilliant music, brilliant cinematography and a brilliant plot! Oh yeah, and ask me if it's touching! Please! I haven't been this moved since I saw 'I Am Sam (2001)' (qv), and that's saying something! 10/10 without hesitation. I simply can't put my finger on anything bad about this film. Just go see it, or you'll miss out on one of the finest moments in film history! Well done, Susanne! Bravo!
