Copenhagen (2014)
9/10
Compelling Soul journey
7 February 2017
Warning: Spoilers
You'll probably read a lot of the other reviews here for this movie. So I'm not going to rehash the story line.

It's a simple story of two souls who discover and guide each other over 24 hours together in Copenhagen.

It has definite similarities to Rich Linklater's Before Sunrise (another of my favourites) but where it differs is in the mismatch in the two's age and maturity.

Here Effy (played by the amazing Frederikke Dahl Hansen) is only 14 years old, and William (Gethin Anthony) is in his late twenties. However it's Effy the 'teenager' who guides William on his journey to discover his family (and himself as a man in the process).

The soul journey and connection between this women-like teenage girl and this boy-like grown-up man is compelling.

A must watch, not only for the chemistry between these two, but also the beauty of Copenhagen. Loved it. You will too.
