The critics movie
26 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Let me start out by admitting that the acting and the technical side of things are up to scratch, so what exactly is the problem with this movie? Well, first and foremost, there's too much of a good thing. Obviously Mikkel Munch Fals, a movie critic turned director, is very keen on making this a rather gloomy experience for everyone concerned, with various perversion in ordinary people are being examined. Everybody likes a bit of perversion, but it is soooo boring that every single male person in the movie is a pervert and an absolutely terrible human being. It took me about five minutes to realise this, and then the vie's pretty much over. New guy get's introduced, seems nice in the very beginning and then turns out to be atrocious. Repeat until bored to death.

A little bit of unfunny humour in there too. It in every Danish movie a minimum of unsexy nudity is compulsory, as is a couple of jokes. Nudity for seriousness and jokes because the directors are insecure about being serious.

Anyway, not the worst movie I've ever seen (The King Is Alive takes the cake) but it is very predictable, very much the same as any other Danish movie from the past 15 years and very unimportant.

Point given for not using hand held cameras and not having Troels Lyby play an modern sensitive guy in a woolly sweater.
