Review of Another Round (2020) by Marakai — 19 Dec 2020
In 2012, one of the very best films of the year was Thomas Vinterberg’s tragic drama The Hunt, so it goes without saying that it’s great to see him return with Around Round and collaborate with many of the same actors again.
It’s even better to say that he’s delivered another outstanding piece of work that’s also among this years best films. The premise is fairly straightforward in four grown men deciding to drink every day and keep a certain amount of alcohol in their system as they go about their daily lives dealing with their jobs and families.
It even brings some enthusiastic and hilarious results. However, when the stakes are raised, the true nature and dangers of excessive alcohol consumption are exposed and Vinterberg’s not shy in challenging the darker side.
It’s an evenly balanced film, though, with marvellous performances that showcase the characters’ humanity and vulnerability. Another winner from Vinterberg, Mikkelsen and co.
