Review of In a Better World (2010) by Jonathan K — 16 Aug 2012
In A Better World is more aptly described by its Danish title, Hævnen, which means Vengeance but also serves as a play on the spelling of "Heaven." It is a subtle yet complex and deep drama about the struggles inherent in human co-existence.
No one character is without flaw. There is no hero and there nearly is no villain(s) (unless you count the Sudanese warlord among the primary cast.) Susanne Bier has once again directed a masterpiece.
Beautiful filmmaking and gorgeous cinematography undergird this Academy Award winning film that all at once captures our weakness and our beauty.
