First and MOST IMPORTANT thing to be said about this film is that, if you are a Dane you know this, there are some big cultural differences between (Denmark as well as many other (mostly western) European countries) and a lot of the rest of the world, Im'ma just assume you're American. What I'm talking about specifically is that, there people are way more casual about exposing their children to the realities of such things as listed above. There this would be onside red a family/kids movie. If you are not from there though or are otherwise not comfortable sharing this movie with younger children, don't... share it with younger children.

When I first saw it when I was visiting Denmark (I was born there and am a dual citizen (US/Denmark) I watched it with my Aunt and uncle, their kids, and my 10-year-old brother. My brother was not born there and is generally not as accustomed to their culture/society, and... well he left after the first 10-20 mini. At least there's no gore or anything... 😬

Just like to remind you that despite these things Denmark has officially ranked 2nd happiest country in the world more than once.

Other than all that, it's a GREAT movie. Really funny, has a good engaging plot, and has given the world one of the greatest songs ever.... "PESTO"! Worth watching for sure.
