Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
An ethically ambitious, morally thoughtful - and deeply vexing - drama about the fragility of civil order and the menace of the lawless.
– Lisa Kennedy,
Denver Post,
29 Apr 2011
fresh:
Despite some weaknesses as both a film and a parable, "In a Better World" is a potent provocation.
– Joe Williams,
St. Louis Post-Dispatch,

fresh:
Simply put, this would be a better world if there were more films like In a Better World.
– Tom Long,
Detroit News,
6 May 2011
fresh:
Susanne Bier's latest meditation on grief and the boundaries of family -- which won this year's foreign-film Oscar -- is a tough piece of work, subtle in some ways, obvious in others, viscerally affecting throughout.
– Amy Biancolli,
Houston Chronicle,

fresh:
True, the resolutions on offer seem conventionally pat, yet the tough questions stay with you in an absorbing drama which pushes the viewer's buttons with effective intelligence.
