OK, you think YOUR family is bad? A masterpiece of conditioned denial and subtle sickness emerging as undeniable. Hyper-real and puts nearly all other forms of gritty realism to shame.
A brilliant movie I will always love. Brutally honest about the lasting effects of sexual abuse, as well as playfully provocative about prejudice in modern society, Thomas Vinterberg's Dogme 95 classic is not to be missed.
Sure, great acting and story.
But sorry guys, you gotta face it: Dogme 95 was the mullet of the 90's, they feel it rad, they feel it real, but oh boy...
I'm not going to lie, I was not really looking forward to this one. I've always hated the Dogme 95 aesthetic and I utterly despise everything about it's founder Lars von Trier. That being said I was shocked with how absorbed I was by the incredible story and the fantastic acting. I see why it's become a very successful play since the release.
I still think the Dogme style hurt the film in some ways, especially when the film looked absolutely awful during the night scenes. I am certainly glad that the original exists but I would be interested to see the film done by a more theatrical director like Mike Leigh.

10 minutes after the films close and just gathering my senses, blew my little brain apart.One of the finest films. Ever.
