  Have wanted to check this out for months after seeing that still of Mads circulating around film Twitter. After already loving pretty much everything about it, the final 5 minutes left me on probably my favorite ending of the year. Ahh! The backbone of this is the chemistry between these four men, who all have unique stories relating to alcohol that feel fully fleshed out by the end. Mads delivers, without a doubt, my favorite performance of the year. As of now! And the use of music throughout is working perfectly.

  I haven't seen alcoholism portrayed like this before in a film. It's Very honest and not in an overly sappy way. It does a fantastic job of highlighting the seduction associated with drinking and not shying away from really showing how great that feeling is. A bit predictable, but I can't complain too hard. This is insanely great.

  Sorry this review is a little sloppy, I'm just excited.

  i feel like i've seen several versions of this film– the wish fulfillment/monkey's paw story as applied to average men whose averageness is their great crutch– but never so grounded, and never like this where it refuses the clean and obvious resolution you're expecting. i have mixed feelings about that, but damn if those final minutes aren't so delightful that you can't help but not care. nice to finally get to see mads as joyous and fun and charismatic on film as he is in the press! i can't imagine anyone watching this movie and leaving without a crush on him. not really the point of the movie, but it might as well be!

  Review by justmiaslife ★★★★★ 6

  the only cinematic moment in 2020 that matters is mads mikkelsen dancing and spinning around while celebrating the joy of life. and in this moment you have the feeling no matter what you are going through, he gives you enough energy to pull yourself together and move on. give this man the recognition he freaking deserves for letting one feel so many emotions while watching his performances !!!

  (sidenote: director thomas vinterberg and mads mikkelsen attended the screening i went to - which made this experience even better. but even without that bonus i'm really confident in saying that especially with not much coming out anymore this year it will be hard to top this movie for me)

  The human body is born with a 0.05% Mads Mikkelsen deficiency. I recommend watching Mads dance several times a day. No Mads after 8 pm, and none on the weekends.
