These people drove Mads Mikkelsen to cannibalism.

Hannibal: Origins

mads mikkelsen gives such a heartbreaking performance to a heartbreaking story. this movie literally broke me.

i hate children so much it's unreal

Kids Say the Darndest Things

Hell. Fucking hell. That is one uncomfortable watch. A great uncomfortable watch. Ever feel like your heart is being ripped apart and then fed to the dogs? The Hunt is a 2-hour presentation of that feeling. It's heartbreak simulator. A shockingly realistic portrayal of mass hysteria.

The film follows the life and struggle of pre-cannibalism Dr. Lecter, as he gets falsely accused of molesting children, beaten up, and yelled at.

Mads Mikkelsen. Fantastic. I'd expected to have a problem seeing him as another character other than the awfully classy Hannibal Lecter also known as the cannibal pun factory. ("Next time bring your wife, I'd love to have you both for dinner.") But to my surprise all of those thoughts scurried to the back of my mind as soon as the film starts. Cannibal what? More like:

STOP BULLYING HIM YOU MONSTERS HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE. CHILDREN ARE DEMONS.

I need to calm down.

fuck that bitch Klara........

This is film is based on such a power hypothetical, what if you were accused by a child of sexual assault and you where genuinely innocent.

The films follows a Day Care Worker in Sweden who has a close friends kid that asks him to kiss her he refuses and she is upset and goes how and elaborates on a lie of what she said happens.

The consequences of this act is horrendous and a terrifying thought if this was in fact you. Mikels Masden is utterly perfect in the role and your compelled by his journey.

As someone who has worked at a school, this movie is fucking terrifying.

96. The Hunt

This film left me so mad and emotionally distressed. I knew this movie would be a difficult watch but I was not prepared for the amount of frustration, anxiety, and sadness I would feel while watching this. The acting is so incredible throughout this, especially from Mads Mikkelsen, and it was so emotional the whole way through. Honorable mention for acting goes to Fanny the dog.

i cant believe they did peepaw so dirty

As a male teacher who teaches at an elementary school and worked at a daycare for several years this was disturbingly relevant. This is a nightmare of any male who works in education. If the premise was the only thing that had landed this would have still been a good movie, but so much more plays out and is explored that it is elevated to a gripping and dark drama. Mads Mikkelson once again delivers a powerfully quiet performance which is done more through his eyes and facial expressions than dialogue.

As the third act unfolded I was constantly guessing how it would finish. Some things I predicted and others were pleasant surprises. While the subject matter is something that may keep me from running back to this film quickly, I look forward to revisiting this later on in life and see how it lands for me differently.

«يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا إِنْ جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ»

O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.

خطرت ببالي هذي الآية و انا اشوف الفلم من غير المنطقي الحكم على احد بدون التاكد خصوصا في موضوع زي الفلم

God another one to file under: fuck them kids.

This is such a fucked situation where every side is totally justified (minus one towards the end involving Fanny). A great film all around except for a few silly things that I thought shouldn’t have happened and also Lucas being so bad at advocating for his innocence early on, regardless if it would have done anything. Mads does a great job as this character though and everyone felt super grounded and real.

I loved the relationships between characters and it had some very sad moments and just endless frustration for the wrongfully accused. This also reminded me of loveless for some reason, maybe the bleakness or the slow camera.

Also hunting is stupid as shit.

Fantastic film. An uncomfortable watch but a great uncomfortable watch. Absolutely devastating to see how things unfold for Mads Mikkelsen here. His performance is incredible. 

Really enjoyed this and it fully deserves the critical acclaim.

One of those movies that sets out to challenge you emotionally and certainly achieves it. An excellent and infuriating story with great performances all round. I do have a couple issues though and the largest one is the decisions that the writers made in how Lucas acted after the accusations. I know with traumatic events it’s often the case that no response is normal, but for a good 45 mins of this, everything that Lucas does fails to make any sense. He repeatedly passes up opportunities to truly show his disgust at the allegations and instead opts for a weird and semi arrogant ambivalence that echoes the actions of a guilty person rather than an innocent one. Aside from this, Mads is superb and counter acted the fairly baffling creative direction with a truly great performance.

oh klara...
idk, this film was excellent but made me sad in so many ways. acting was amazing and story was heart wrenching. but jheez

Odio i bambini.
Mi ha spezzato il cuore e mi ha disturbato per quasi tutta la sua interezza. Ho letto che è tratto da una storia vera e la cosa mi intristisce ancora di più. Fate in modo di vederlo almeno una volta.
P. S Miglior attore a Cannes per Mikkelsen super meritato.
