   A huge disappointment. At the start I thought it was going to be really good; it's well acted and beautifully shot, but then it becomes clear that the script is a huge weak point: it's too obvious what's going to happen and the film becomes sanctimonious and contrived.I would recommend the Norwegian film Ondskan for a much better treatment of the themes of bullying and revenge.

   Obviously, I was pleased when Hævnen won the Oscar, but looking back over the entire duration of the award of best foreign language film, it's definitely one of the worst wins. And even for the year, I think at least two (Dogtooth and Incendies) are quantifiably better movies. Even for Danish nominations, it's nowhere near as good as Jagten. Jagten was just unfortunate enough to be nominated the same year as The Great Beauty (what can you do..) Hævnen was fortunate enough to be nominated in a somewhat weak year for foreign language oscar films. 9 years 2 months ago
