Denmark

A well thought through & written piece. The acting is excellent.

It has that classic bitter sweet kitchen sink social commentary.

So many in Wales (& other parts of the UK) face a desperate situation like the lead character. The film makes you face society's flaws with a back rub rather than a fist.

I had this movie on my watchlist pretty long time so I kinda had some expectations from it. One day I had a really small amount of time to watch something so this was when Denmark came in.

The descriptions made me pretty interested.

The first half of the movie was great. There was exactly what I wanted to see. Good jokes, amazing scenery, and the actors were really good. But as soon as the main character moved to Denmark I realized that it will not be my type of movie as in the beginning.

The movie changed into some empty and uninteresting romantic comedy. If it kinda kept at least some tragicomedy from the beginning it would be much less painful to watch. I do not the type of person who cares about romantic parts in movies and if I do then it is one of the best to be ever made. I don't care about some poor social drama and the biggest problem was that they completely left the point they were trying to make at the beginning.

In the beginning, it was around 6.5 to 7.5 but it dropped cause of the second half that it had.

6/10.

The lead is Unquestionably an excellent actor. The film felt realistic. Moody, downbeat and desperate. I could feel his stress. I felt for the character. Even if I didn't really get to know him too well.

I could understand the move to Denmark but the journey there was very fortunate. It relied on sparse filming and vague story telling. You have to just accept he went from UK to Denmark in the blink of an eye and with a lot of luck.

The love interest was also another very fortunate bit of story telling. It really did start to stretch reality a little. The speed of him being alone to having dinner was a challenge. No real attempt to create a loving romance.

But this disbelief would be dwarfed by the gun And police station scenes. It was like they run out of time and tossed a coin for the ending. Super rushed and super convenient. The ending very anti-climatic, yet Subtle and A little understated.

This is not a comedy. It is a young man at the end. Hopeless. Finding a reason not to give up. The acting was good so it was easy to travel the story. I wanted more from it but what I got was okay. The lead actor is appearing in a lot of productions just lately and this film explains why. I believed his character story so that is a credit to him. I do recommend it but save it for a chilled afternoon. #WearaMask

This movie will frustrate you make you happy and sad it's a genuine tragic comedy and very close to the truth

Well, ive been often thinking the same thing, that if i was a bum or hobo, lurking the streets here in fennoscandia, i wouldve done my best to get through the heavens gates of nordic imprisonment, just to get food and relaxation, some money and steady rythmm of life. looser you might think, but norwegian prisons really bake bread up under your arms to make you float through the system of punishment, and if the tv doesnt work, then youll be transfered to halden kretsfengsel, the heavenly oyster in noirwegian prison system.

so the reason for the welshman to go to denmark to break the law for a vacation in danish prisons are well delved over, and for sure a fat thought of good food and bed

its a film with lots of humble laughs, on behalf of a depressed person that really lives in a hassle. the main actor has this''marsian''surprised look that really tells half the story. it could have been even better elaborated how crime are dealt with up here among the trolls and vetter in the lands of the midnight sun, but if you just wanna creep in next to a depressed and repressed male welshman, then watch denmark.

the grumpy old man who has forgoitten half of the glossary learnt at school gives a recommend .
