Another Round

Sophisticated, intellectual, refreshingly different movie. More like this please.

Oscar should be given for one of the best films of the yr

So many familiar moments in that movie! 😎

This film is a mirror of the human experience. I felt deeply connected and moved by it. What a ride.

The Nordic countries are the ones that most control the sale of alcohol, but also the ones that have the most problems with it. This searching (and finding) of de-inhibition is a very sarcastic look. The film also works better on its uninhibited side than on the dark side. The courage of the proposal seems subjected to a certain moralistic reading. For the dance scene alone, Mads Mikkelsen deserves three Oscars. "What a life, what a night. What a beautiful, beautiful ride".

Phenomenal movie and one of the best endings I've ever seen. Goosebumps!
Edit: Back for a rewatch and I'm so glad I did. This is one of those movies that makes me feel so utterly alive. Just fantastic.

Great film. Mikkelsen and the rest of the cast are spot on. The film is not just about consumption, but about the risks you'll take to break free of the mundane life so many feel trapped in, and the consequences for breaking those shackles.

Mads Mikkelsen never ceases to amaze me. He stands out alongside Thomas Bo Larsen (lovely last name), Magnus Millang and Lars Ranthe (Amazing first name). There is chemistry between these four men who are having a midlife crisis. They never fail to keep you glued to your screen. Seeing them all cope differently with their alcohol abuse is interesting to see.

You have a feeling it'll all go down a bad road one way or another for the four teachers. Everyone is effected differently, but it's lovely to see them having each other's back at every turn. You'll laugh with them, feel bad for them and have the biggest smile on your face at the end. Those final 5 minutes are a sight to behold. Mads Mikkelsen moving his hips is something you don't want to miss out on.

Another Round is a must watch for everyone here at Letterboxd, you'll be amazed by Mads Mikkelsen, the story, the other actors and the ending. Another Round is one of 2020's best. I haven't seen many of them but it'll be up there for sure!

Goes great when watching with alcohol.
