So disappointed
17 November 2023
I rarely see a Danish movies these days, but then I get persuaded as this one was trending on Netflix. 20 minutes in I hate the script, I hate the actors, I hate the plot. I'm so disappointed that this garbage gets through editing, reviews and post without anybody saying 'stop'.

There is not a single moment in the story where you feel the characters are real humans, having real emotions. There's not a single moment in the story where you feel this is something that could have happened in the real world, anywhere in the world for that matter.

My unasked for recommendation for the director/writer would be to spend more time on getting details about how people interact, relationships and emotions, how police work, how computers work, how dialogue works, how acting for that sake works, and less on how to show explicit strangulation scenes and bondage fetish - which adds nothing to the drama, but only seems like either a fetish or a pathetic attempt to be shocking.
