Melissa 02/08/2025 Absolutely brutal and unsparing look at life in poverty in post-WWI Denmark and how some people will go to any length to survive. Not for the faint of heart. See more Alain E @AlainE Aug 3 Told with first class black and white cinematography, this is a dark tale that combines severe brutality with extreme tenderness. In the ending love is given a chance. On Mubi. See more Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Mar 15 Movie is visually stunning in black and white. The protagonist is hardly likable. Production design is fantastic and transports viewers back to post war Copenhagen. Some scenes are quite disturbing and hard to watch. Since it is inspired by true events, it is better served if it stays more true to actual events instead of incorporating elements for dramatic effects.

Um bom melodrama baseado em uma história verídica. See more W.L. C @WayneCampbell Feb 6 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘭𝘦 was not an easy watch for myriad reasons, not least of which is the grueling two-hour runtime. While there are stories that beg to be told, this wasn’t one of them. It’s straight poverty porn. It was difficult enough to watch Karoline (Vic Carmen Sonne) trudge through the streets of post-World War I Copenhagen, but to interlace her story with graphic, gratuitous infanticide by the based-on-real-life serial killer Dagmar Overbye (Trine Dyrholm) is too much. Some things don’t need to be committed to celluloid, as most audience members are intelligent enough to fill in the blanks and use their imagination to terrify themselves. Needless to say, this was a one-and-done for me. There is no artistic merit in exploiting the poor and their traumas.
