From my last week's review: This is the third film by Danish director Ole Bornedal that I’ve seen this year (after ’Nightwatch’ and ‘Small time killers’). The first two were terrible, and so was this one.
No more Ole Bornedal for me!

This was a setting/story I would normally be interested in and many of the individual parts were well made. But it didn't stick together at all.
