Denmark

Not really a comedy, but there are some funny moments. Filmmakers take note , this is John Cassavetes, ken Loach, Mike Leigh, John Sayles territory and its brilliant. You can make films like this for nothing, that are pitch perfect when describing the human condition. These kinds of films are really important. Anyone that has lived in Britain , in any of those depressed regions can relate to this film. I have gone through what the protagonist went through, and it is not for sissies. I watched this 3 nights ago and I have found myself reliving the scenes and dialog days later. This one stays with you. Everyone plays it well, the dog stole the show, and Rafe Spall is fabulous.

This movie will frustrate you make you happy and sad it's a genuine tragic comedy and very close to the truth

Loved it, it's not what I would class as a true comedy where the writer is trying to make the audience laugh out loud, it's a cute comedy and that's probably a bad attempt at trying to pigeon hole it. The amazing thing is though and somewhat spooky is I've often said to friends if I have nothing, no job, no home, no money, I would do exactly the same as what this guy attempted do only I would choose Norway because some prisons there the inmates have the luxury of cells which more or less fit the description of apartments. Sometime in the future I will watch it again and I if you get the chance I think you could a lot worse than to watch this also/

I had this movie on my watchlist pretty long time so I kinda had some expectations from it. One day I had a really small amount of time to watch something so this was when Denmark came in.

The descriptions made me pretty interested.

The first half of the movie was great. There was exactly what I wanted to see. Good jokes, amazing scenery, and the actors were really good. But as soon as the main character moved to Denmark I realized that it will not be my type of movie as in the beginning.

The movie changed into some empty and uninteresting romantic comedy. If it kinda kept at least some tragicomedy from the beginning it would be much less painful to watch. I do not the type of person who cares about romantic parts in movies and if I do then it is one of the best to be ever made. I don't care about some poor social drama and the biggest problem was that they completely left the point they were trying to make at the beginning.

In the beginning, it was around 6.5 to 7.5 but it dropped cause of the second half that it had.

6/10.

Well, ive been often thinking the same thing, that if i was a bum or hobo, lurking the streets here in fennoscandia, i wouldve done my best to get through the heavens gates of nordic imprisonment, just to get food and relaxation, some money and steady rythmm of life. looser you might think, but norwegian prisons really bake bread up under your arms to make you float through the system of punishment, and if the tv doesnt work, then youll be transfered to halden kretsfengsel, the heavenly oyster in noirwegian prison system.

so the reason for the welshman to go to denmark to break the law for a vacation in danish prisons are well delved over, and for sure a fat thought of good food and bed

its a film with lots of humble laughs, on behalf of a depressed person that really lives in a hassle. the main actor has this''marsian''surprised look that really tells half the story. it could have been even better elaborated how crime are dealt with up here among the trolls and vetter in the lands of the midnight sun, but if you just wanna creep in next to a depressed and repressed male welshman, then watch denmark.

the grumpy old man who has forgoitten half of the glossary learnt at school gives a recommend .
