Ineffably Amazing: One of the Very Best!

One of the best movies I've ever seen! Susanne Bier has an unmatched ability to exhibit the true humanity of each of her characters. Not one appears contrived or stereotypical. I felt as though I was a voyeur eavesdropping on this family's unexpected circumstances. I urge the reader to avoid any reviews that include plot details on this film. It's initial vagueness is indeed intentional and each seemingly unnecessary scene contributes to it's unpredictability and ultimate revelation. The camerawork is artistic and interesting which only adds to the mystique of the plot. Though it is an emotionally packed drama this movie incites the viewer to the edge of their seat with suspense.
