Okay.. that was weird. During the watch, my head was full with questions - "What the hell?", "Why everything is going so slowly?", "What was the purpose of that scene to be here". Confusing characters, they were all so damn confused,Okay.. that was weird. During the watch, my head was full with questions - "What the hell?", "Why everything is going so slowly?", "What was the purpose of that scene to be here". Confusing characters, they were all so damn confused, annoyingly shy and boring. Also you are going to hate that damn annoying little girl.. and everyone as well. Repulsive atmosphere. I guess just bad directing.
When something terrible happens, people have misunderstand, thinking that you have done something so wrong, something real bad, but.. surprisingly you haven't *surprise surprise*, you just don't sit there and watch as a tree how people look at you, tread you and generally thing of you. You fight for your right, you speak, you just do something, maybe!!? I would describe the protagonist's actions as unconvincing and insufficient.

The the end of the movie says, that when you do something wrong, no matter if people are mistaken, when you said something wrong, even if you were angry or very emotional and when it's been a while, you will be remembered with that thing you did or say forever. People recall bad stuff, situations and actions for other people. At the end of the day, nobody wants to be remembered as the bad and nasty guy. So... be careful. :D

Critics are obviously blind or something.

If you want to see an actor doing his job as well as you've ever seen, you must see this movie. However, if you want to see a good film that amuse you for nearly a couple of hours, you'd better think twice in double-clicking in that one...If you want to see an actor doing his job as well as you've ever seen, you must see this movie. However, if you want to see a good film that amuse you for nearly a couple of hours, you'd better think twice in double-clicking in that one... For me, the worst film i have seen since i saw 'To the wonder'. 1h 40 minutes to tell you not to believe every word the children say. I think there's no need in seeing that film to acquire that knowledge. The plot is based in a lie said by a little girl that her parents hardly ever listen and everybody knew was special. My score for this film is ZERO, but, i must insist, my score for the main actor is 10, amazing, as usually. Expand

The only reason I don't give this movie a zero is Mads Mikkelsen's flawless performance.Story is laughable and totally unreal-5 year old girl falls in love with mature man??Then false accuse him for sexual abuse??How's that possible,sheThe only reason I don't give this movie a zero is Mads Mikkelsen's flawless performance.Story is laughable and totally unreal-5 year old girl falls in love with mature man??Then false accuse him for sexual abuse??How's that possible,she doesn't even know what penis is at that age.And whole town believes her-why?'Because little children don't lie!'-says director of kindergarten.REALLY?? And then for the rest of the movie we have basically a witch hunt like it's not 21st century Denmark but 15th century or something-system does not exist,no psychologist,no police,no law,no press,no anything except mad crowd thirsty for blood on one side and innocent victim on the other.Waste of time.
