Our take

Inspired by the podcast Serial, this debut feature from Gustav Möller is a nerve-wracking police thriller set within the confines of one room. Equal parts psychological portrait and shocking mystery, The Guilty’s ingenious screenplay gives rise to an enthralling performance by Jakob Cedergren.
