Our take
Winner of the prestigious Audience Award at Sundance in 2019, this provocative domestic drama from Denmark echoes at once the self-reflexive nature of a Douglas Sirk melodrama and the slow-burning tension of a Hitchcockian thriller. A true filmmaking feat, starring actor-songwriter Trine Dyrholm.
