A masterclass in pass-agg office etiquette

[jasperredhat · 7/10 · 24 July 2022]

About the psychology of evil and the tricky fact that we all consist of a certain measure of this evil, while of course we also harbor goodness.

A simple fact that is often forgotten or overlooked in our black and white realm. "A masterclass in pass-agg office etiquette" as NME writes in its review.

A story so complex and daring, with such a high degree of difficulty, that it forces/attracts us to further studies of the wretchedness of our souls and our distaste for weakness. Probably too complicated to attract Hollywood producers and script factories. Which we can be happy about.

Copenhagen in Aarhus

[saschastaal · 5/10 · 4 April 2021]

It's quite obvious, that the movie takes place in Aarhus. So why does the entires cast speak like it's set in Copenhagen? Also, I like the plot, but the story just takes so many turns it's hard to keep up.

Unfortunately they promote smoking

Great film great actress unfortunately smoking is seen far to much, really sorry to say this wonderful plot try to justify smoking, spending from cigarate vendors ?

Location fail

[Lukewarmwinner · 3/10 · 5 December 2020]

It's not a great movie. The cast is excellent, but it just goes in too many different directions.

It's hard to ignore the fact, that it's very noticeable not filmed in Denmark. At first I thought they were visiting another country but when the characters talk about locations in Copenhagen and you see streets from Budapest - well... that's frustrating. Why not just rewrite the story if filming location were an issue?!...

Was this a... Satire?

[beatrixsalorice · 1/10 · 10 December 2020]

Sadly I don't think so, but it sure came off as one. Acting was poor considering the otherwise great cast, and I caught myself laughing at the quite frankly unrealistic turnout of events. Storyline feels random and it's very apparent that most scenes weren't filmed in Denmark where it's supposed to be set. An embarrassing attempt on a psychological thriller...

Worst movie ever

[annajupiter-28036 · 3/10 · 4 December 2020]

This movie is so weird and confusing and boring. The only thing that saves it a bit, is the amazing cast. Other than that, terrible.

Please....

[HairDude · 4/10 · 10 April 2021]

Stop making forced wannabe clever thrillers if you don't have a clue what you're doing please...

This sad attempt is just stupid and extremely boring. Absolutely none of the characters are likable to a point that their deaths means nothing at all to the audience. The lame plot twists are just ridiculous and the story is unbelievable.

And if it's supposed to take place in Copenhagen FILM IT IN COPENHAGEN you cheap fools! If you make a Danish movie you might consider supporting danish film workers and not use Eastern European slaves for extra profit.

4 stars for the 4 female lead actors effort.

Don't waste your time.

Boy am I glad I got paid to watch this movie. It's not good. It's actually pretty bad. Malene talks and acts like a pre-teen and the script is in general very bad. Don't watch it unless you want a headache.

Really bad

[rasmusj-38823 · 1/10 · 6 February 2021]

Terrible movie. Dont waste your time on rubbish like this.
