Search: Starring Nikolaj Lie Kaas

This film explains why the public are so reluctant to fund universities.

There is a careful balance here between the big drama of the premise and the personal dramas experienced by the characters, most of whom pay no particular heed to the wider tragedy unfolding.

Jokes are low-brow but delight audiences easily enough to give the film international appeal.

There is no recognisable storyline, although the emotional content has potential if it wasn't dissipated by a Calvinist attitude towards manipulation and falsehood.

Beautifully shot and well acted.

What might easily have been a dry historical drama is delivered as a gripping action film complete with brutal battles and inventive chase scenes.

At times it feels as if Jensen is trying to spin too many plates at once, but in the moments when it all comes together, it’s a delight to watch.

Its disgusting surface is supported by a framework that’s more intelligent than in plenty of prettier films.

A good 25 minutes could have been trimmed off the length without anyone noticing.

Dogme's restrictions become strengths in the hands of a creative masterbuilder like Jensen.

Mikkelsen anchors this movie with a performance that allows emotional turmoil to glint through Markus' regimented facade, playing off the impressive combination of anger and grief that Gaderberg brings to Mathilde.

Everything feels contrived, overblown and - perhaps the worst sin you can lay at the door of a psychological thriller - utterly predictable.
