...Mikkelsen holds it together, and then he comes out literally swinging in one of the best final scenes of the year.

...is grounded by how Sturla Brandth Grøvlen’s cinematography captures brutally perfect performances...

...funny and rich, a fresh, perfectly played, clear-eyed take on middle age ennui. Intoxicating.

...an intoxicated tale of midlife angst and catharsis and better living through Aquavit.

The performances are persuasive and watchable...

...one of the best pictures of the year.

It’s a brilliantly ambiguous affair, woozy but precise, profound yet playful, confronting matters of life and death with equal vigour, while ultimately raising a toast to the redemptive power of cinema.
