Basically, this film is a romantic story, but in conjunction with the theme and the raw environment of Denmark, any love tendencies are sometimes completely overpowered by the thriller guise, which makes this Nordic film more interesting and engaging. I liked the plot as well as the film's narrative, where everything starts with the ending and we are actually waiting for an explanation as to why it happened. In short, a slightly weaker Ole Bornedal film than his later Deliver Us from Evil, but still a very good film.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an interesting combination of “fun”, “depressive” and “perverted” thriller. Bornedal has done a perfect job and I can’t find almost anything to reproach. Well, yeah, the plot structure is quite shaky, but it’s still brilliant. 85 %

Some movies really shouldn't have an ending. This film is brilliantly directed, with a sense of atmosphere and tension. As long as the screenwriter and director, here being the same person, keeps the audience on their toes and unsure of what's happening, the film works perfectly. However, when it starts revealing its cards, which happens at the latest during Sebastien's unexpected visit to the love nest, the love story quickly loses steam. The plot, or rather its resolution, is Hollywood-like and the film lost its charm for me. Overall impression: 60%.
