Picking up nominations for a César, BAFTA, and Golden Globe among their many wins and nominations, this film about a family reunion and the revealed secrets is sometimes funny, but always tragic.
There are a lot of secrets in the house, but when Christian (Ulrich Thomsen) reveals his and his twin sister's sexual abuse to the family, it was a sure shocker. However, he even tops that later.
Michael (Thomas Bo Larsen) is a racist jerk, who gets into screaming matches with his wife, only to have rough sex afterwards.
The last sibling, Helene (Paprika Steen) gets Michael going when she brings her black boyfriend. But, it is Helene that finds the suicide note that reveals Christian is telling the truth.
Thomas Vinterberg writes and directs a magnificent film.
