Review of In a Better World (2010) by Andrew S — 22 Dec 2011
Iâ(TM)m slightly perplexed as to how this film beat out Incendies for the Best Foreign Language Film in the Oscars. None the less In A Better World is still an exceptionally well crafted film, there is simply no denying that.
However the film doesnâ(TM)t offer anything new in terms of plot, characters, or direction. Instead it opts to take a more classic approach to a contemporary drama. Susanne Bier creates morally complex characters who find themselves in morally challenging situations.
One canâ(TM)t help but feel that at certain points in the film, the story falls into its own trappings and comes off slightly preachy. Thankfully these moments are few and far between. The film strengths lie within in the superb acting, and strong storyline.
