'The Hunt' is completely grounded in realism. The difficult subject matter brings up even more difficult questions as we watch everyone poorly mistreat this situation. What starts out as a 'he said-she said' setup quickly dives dark into a story of wrongful persecution. The film treats this with a tough outlook. There is a constant tight dramatic grip of subtle tension. Thoughts and feelings boil beneath the surface of not just our main character, but of all the characters. Quick judgements turn them against the accused and, in turn, change them into worse beings. That part I found to be most maddening. The ending leaves a great question to ponder after viewing. This is a terrific film!
