Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Keeps itself floating above the suds thanks to Bier's crisp and lively visual design, the general loveliness of her cast ... and her attention to small moments of arresting domestic authenticity.

fresh:
Feels like an amalgam of newsreel and stage drama, but with the most potent aspects of both art forms.

A profoundly affecting movie, one in which our sympathies lie with everyone.

fresh:
At its core, Susanne Bier's wrenching portrayal of the shifting dynamics within a Danish family is really about survival, about how we cope in the face of shattering grief and what we'll do -- anything, really -- to save ourselves.

fresh:
Bier, honored as an Emerging Master at the Seattle International Film Festival this year, is clearly a director to watch. In her hands, a story that could become melodramatic is gripping and heartbreaking.
