Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Rather one-note in its bleakness, and doesn't have a vast amount to say beyond 'reform school sucks'.

Possibly no one else does "grim" with as much unsparing enthusiasm as the Scandinavians.

fresh:
Skarsgard is riveting throughout as a man whose high morality is steeped in hypocrisy and whose mask of civility easily slips, when challenged, to reveal the monster beneath.
