Der kommer en dag

This is a sad film. The conclusion indicates that it was based on a number of orphanages in Denmark and you could sense that certain acts and situations arose from real life stories.

The actor playing the headmaster gave a powerhouse performance that swells the viewer with hatred and disdain for him. The sympathetic female teacher was also played with stunning dramatic effect. The two boys seemed fairly young, but managed to carry the intensity and sorrow of the film with amazing maturity and brilliant execution.

This is hardly a film for casual Friday night viewing. It is about two brothers who are sent to a home for boys because their very sick mother is unable to care for them. Within the home, they experience violent and cold abuse from both teachers and friends. It is so sad to think that such an era really existed (and probably still does in some parts of the world).

It's the sort of film that deserves critical acclaim and awards. The sorrow arising from the film will stay with me for some time.

I'm only going to mention what other reviews haven't, and the topic is: Did the movie exaggerate the mistreat of children? The answer is no, and here is the factual explanation why:

Note the following excerpt of a public apology presented by BBC News, dated August 13, 2019-

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has officially said sorry to hundreds of victims of historical abuse in state-run homes. From 1945 to 1976 children were sexually abused, beaten and drugged at the homes, an official inquiry found.

This stunning acknowledgement validates everything we see in this excellent movie. As such, it is a documentary presented in drama format.

This movie is so sad, but it was a real history, this movie makes me think in the society we are living, everybody is fool and this movie let us to see that in the past the things were the same, this world never change, you have to make things to changed it, this movie is sad, but with a good message, you have to see this movie it will change your life.

STORY 10/10 ACTING 10/10 EFFECTS: i don't give a damn the effects, this story is the best that i have ever seen in a movie this year

I don't want to spoiler this incredible movie, but you have to see it and please don't see the trailer, only the movie.

I will be completely honest, I just clicked this movie for background noise while I plaid a game on my computer and after it the movie ended, I realized not only did I not touch the game, I didn't do anything else but focus on this movie.

I was adopted along with my older brother and did go through foster homes and group homes so this is part reason it touched me so much however when writing reviews I like to be bias with my opinion so it is only fair to state this fact about me.

As for the movie, what amazing writing, directing and acting done here. The level of emotion from simple expressions made this feel like I was there. For all of the actors to be able to display that magnificence then this shows how good of a movie this is.

I recommend everyone to watch this movie because it will enlighten you and reading my review, I hope that after watching this movie you realize how many older children are out there living in institutions/group homes that need a family, a home and support. There is no excuse for letting a children suffer and be alone, no justification at all. All these children need a community and a family.

So if you are in any position emotionally and financially, reach out and find a kid who will finish their childhood in a group home or institution and save them from the hell of growing up alone, give them the chance that every child deserves.

This is everywhere, I hope this movie goes viral and starts a movement that is by far, way more important then most movements that is about selfish people and greed!

I watched this movie in last 5 minute. I cried 2 time when i seen Elmer standing on street alone and when he flying. Actor 10/10. Acting 10/10. Everyone is great, i like principal acting too, when he angry in the dinning room exactly like Hitler did. Idk why this could be 7,8/10 imdb to now, this must to be 9/10 and more. Sr my bad english.
