OK, you think YOUR family is bad? A masterpiece of conditioned denial and subtle sickness emerging as undeniable. Hyper-real and puts nearly all other forms of gritty realism to shame. 11 years 9 months ago -

A brilliant movie I will always love. Brutally honest about the lasting effects of sexual abuse, as well as playfully provocative about prejudice in modern society, Thomas Vinterberg's Dogme 95 classic is not to be missed. 12 years 7 months ago -
