Review of In a Better World (2010) by Mike S — 27 Mar 2011
Danish Oscar-winner with supreme dramatic qualities. I'll admit that the story didn't seem very appealing to me at first, but it's one of those films that really grabs hold of you after a while - once you get to know all the characters.
Engrossing and fine-spun intrigues, despite being a bit depressing at its core. There's not a doubt in my mind as to why it brought home the Academy Award. Because if there's one thing that Danes are great at, it's making well-acted dramas.
Also a moment of pride for us Swedes, with Mikael "soon-to-be-Beorn" Persbrandt in a very prominent role. An excellent film altogether, with a strong universal message that I believe everyone can relate to.
