Directed by Lasse Spang Olsen, written by Anders Thomas Jensen, produced by Steen Herdel.
Average viewer score of 7.3/10 from 305 ratings.
This film delivers a tremendous black comedy, masterfully blending a sharp plot with a signature Nordic coldness. The entire cast of characters is delightfully eccentric. It's essentially Snatch done Nordic-style—a must-watch for anyone seeking a top-tier dark comedy from Denmark.
