Loving Adults
1 September 2022
This Danish crime drama is told in flashback as a policeman talks to his daughter about a case he was unable to solve but is convinced he knows what happened. A woman is knocked down and killed by a hit and run driver. We then see, a few days earlier, married couple Christian and Leonora having an argument; he doesn't want her to see a text message he received in the middle of the night... understandable given that it is from his lover. When she finds out he is ordered out of the house and told that she intends to report a financial crime he committed some time before. He determines to kill her.

I really enjoyed this film. It provides plenty of twists and turns and for much of the time I was unsure whether we are being shown what actually happened or merely the policeman's theory; this added to the intrigue for me. Right up until the end credits began I had no real idea how it would end. There is a good sense of danger and some, but not an excessive, amount of violence. The cast is impressive; most obviously Dar Salim and Sonja Richter as Christian and Leonora respectively. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of psychological dramas.

These comments are based on watching the film in Danish with English subtitles.
