2010 Best Foreign Film winner
Rating: 11/20
Plot: I don't want to get into it with this one.
I didn't realize until looking it up later that the person responsible for this Best Foreign Picture winner is the same person responsible for Bird Box. That's Susanne Bier. If I thought about it, I bet the flaws of this movie and that Netflix mega-hit are about the same. This one takes a heavyhanded approach to both personal bullies and bullies on a grander scale, trying to make some connection and not really succeeding. Narrative threads are handled in a way that make you think, "Well, a lot of stuff definitely happened!" more than you think any of it happened for a reason.
