Review

The contentious subject matter of incest and sexual abuse was quite topical in the movie business in the 2000s, and it is handled both cleverly and fairly tactfully in this Danish film from writer Kim Fupz Aakeson and director Jacob Thuesen. Troels Lyby and Sofie Gråbøl play a 30-something couple whose steady lives are shaken when their only daughter, the 14-year-old Stine, accuses her father of molesting her. The ensuing investigation, court proceedings, and healing process are distinctly – perhaps even refreshingly – North European in essence. And director Thuesen succeeds in balancing his film between serious drama and intense thriller for most of its running time. There are solid, bare-skinned performances from the three principal leads.
