Whatever the festival, academy nominations, that didn't help stop yawning to the audience. Yes, there is a story, there is performance, besides this there is also slow moving images and lazy screenplay that made film is utter boring. what to look for? entertaining or experience..? no nothing. basic storyline is good, but screenplay is very boring..

so as I used so many BORING words.You can find more in the movie while you watching.. take a risk, if you..?

Trine Dyrholm's husband embezzled 12 million kroners from his school. Nikolas Kaas is the husband who stole the money. But he had a brain tumor. Is he liable? Are we all products of our brain chemistry? Do we have free will or is everything determined by the synapses in our brains? The tumor was removed, but his behavior is still erratic. Bernard, Michael Nyquist, is Frederick's lawyer. His wife was terribly brain damaged in a car accident.

Frederick's Impulse control was lost by the frontal lobe tumor. Frederick's son said in court that the tumor had made his dad more fun, like a friend. The sum stolen was large and it took a complicated set of moves to get it. How could he be impaired? The opening shots of a reckless Frederick driving too fast on a narrow curvy road almost killing people does show impairment. Then an epileptic seizure causes a fall. He was impaired. Dryholm gives a star performance, but is she reliable? There are no clear answers, but that is exactly the point. This film is masterful in the depths it was able to investigate and still be a fascinating viewing.

Try to imagine Ingmar Bergman directing a movie thought out by Alain Resnais! Pretty hard, right? But not after watching this movie. Its digging that deep into the human condition, but also the science behind it. The movie succeeded in making a satisfying whole out of what seems to be opposites: empathy and verfremdung, fiction and facts, science and imagination, real life and theory.

A lot of food for thought here and glowing performances, solid direction and a mind-bending, intelligent screenplay.

Well done!

The story had the potential to make a really good film.

Unfortunately this realisation of it has some serious flaws. One technical is that the monologue/commenting sound track sounds VERY much like someone reading of a paper. I have no idea if the director or the actor is to blame, if you see this in a foreign language with subtitles you MIGHT not be bothered by it.

A few of the attempts done to dramatize the story, unfortunately destroys a crucial plot element. It is only a few scenes (three!), and small alterations from explicit to subtle or omissions of the scenes would have solved it, but as is it completely destroys the main plot IMHO....

Many characters are portrayed fine by the actors, unfortunately this does not include the leading female role...

SOME parts of the film are really good, and others really really bad, so I ended giving it a (sub)mediocre grade...

Watching and afterwards discussing "You disappear" with a friend, this became a mind blowing experience for me. At first everything seemed like a mess, but then my brain started to make an order out of things. It began to piece everything together into a story. When the film was over I had a really strong idea of what film I've been watching, but when I talked to my friend I realized that he had a completely different experience of what the story was. I think this is one of the points of the film. We are our brains. Our brains perceive the world different. I've never watched a film like this before. What it does to you, does it really well, which makes it a masterpiece for me. For me this film is taking filmmaking into new territory. It's a film about how YOU think.
