  These people drove Mads Mikkelsen to cannibalism.

  Hannibal: Origins

  Review by Thomas Ringdal ★★★★½ 33

  I grew up reading about the actual case from a small community in the middle of Norway.
  Lindholm and Vinterberg's story is of course altered for dramatic effect, as well as shortened the amount of time it took to resolve.
  I was only in my teens, without any sort of knowledge about the particular community/invidivuals or the basis of proof, but I remember it never sitting quite right with me. As the Danish title refers to, it absolutely felt like a witch hunt, with some, in hindsight, awful handling by the professionals on the case.
  As it were, the origin story changed a national belief in children as 100% purveyors of truth.

  From this, Lindholm writes, unfortunately not completely free…

  There’s a reason that victims of sexual assault are scared to speak out. Will we be believed? Mocked? Ignored? Shamed?

  There’s countless examples of people speaking out against abuse only to be called a liar, an attention-seeker, a whore. Lying just to hurt a man, lying just to get attention. Even though 99% of the time it’s real. Our pain is real. I know it’s hard to believe that these bad things can happen, but they do. So I understand why people choose to believe that it’s not real and that we’re lying because it’s easier than thinking the world is cruel enough for this happen as often as it does. But I promise you, it does. And if you’ve…

  The church scene is just brutal, breaks your heart into splinters. Mads Mikkelsen's gut wrenching performance is definitely one for the ages.

  A brilliant move on the part of Director Thomas Vinterberg to go in the direction that he did with this film! Rather than keep us in the dark as to whether or not a crime had been committed he laid all of his cards on the table leaving no doubt whatsoever as to the innocence of this man!

  By doing so we saw, felt, and anguished over the many injustices that wrongfully took place against this teacher, friend and neighbor from a small town where everyone knows everyone by name!

  It in essence allowed us to walk in Lucas's shoes! And it was a truly devastating and emotionally draining experience! His journey became our journey and I can only hope…
