O enredo começa a perder o foco pouco mais da metade do filme, entrando em um caminho superficial para o tema do alcoolismo e deixando rastros de confusão a respeito do objetivo do filme para quem assiste. Apesar disso, a atuação de Mads Mikkelsen, a interação dos quatro amigos e o uso certeiro da canção "What a Life", do Scarlet Pleasure, são destaques da obra. Expand

Midlife crisis, demotivated teachers, shaky marriages: facets of the Kierkegaardian angst like his 3 "Stages on Life's Way" which, as that voluminous book states, must be addressed with the motto "In vino veritas"? Is binge drinking, the alcoholic culture of the Nordic countries, a remedy for Calvinist puritanism in order to obtain disinhibition from the social contract, released vitality, dionysiacally liberated mind and body, the ode to joy? Unfortunately Vinterberg is ambiguous to the point of suggesting something very different, the epicureanism of "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die".

The plot is quite slow to build and it felt a bit bland in the first half or so but it picks up a bit mid way through and the ending is certainly something to see, I'd say. Mads Mikkelsen gives a pretty decent performance, as a teacher unsure how much the drinking may affect his teaching. Its a quirky watch, more a piece of somewhat thoughtful social commentary than anything else - I wouldn't say its hilarious or really dramatic but its certainly not bad. A curious watch. I wouldn't expressly recommend this unless the plot really intrigues you or your a big fan of the cast. Expand
