Hvor kragerne vender

If you have have experienced the same as the main character, you will find this movie amazing! If you have been a bully in school, if you are a cultur-radicale who haven't grasped the obvious fake of your ridiculous life or if you never have had conflicts with your parents, you will find it a bore!

The homecoming of a writer who fled country life after a traumatic childhood turns into a gentle comedy that reflects on memories, traumas and the clash between country and city life . Although this part does not avoid clichés (urban characters are vegetarians and idiots, while farmers are rude but with a good heart), it works in the most personal aspects, in the need to leave the past behind and face the present without regrets.

I loved Festen. But asked why, it is impossible to explain. There are no sympathetic characters there, only troubled ones. So any movie that critics are desperate to compare to it are in trouble.

PNG has few immediately likable characters in it. At first sight. The counter point is that this makes them all the more human. Critical reviewers might find that fact of life bland, but the non-binary nature of humanity is exactly what this movie demonstrates. No one is as they seem, at first sight. Because no one is 1-dimensional. This is not spectacular as an observation, but the movie does well in developing this line of thought, without becoming too cliche.

Better movies exist, but to dismiss this one as a failure is just lazy, IMHO. There might be no clear winners in terms of the plot, but anyone who dismisses this as negative is clearly more destined to adore the superhero genre. This is about actual people, including all of their imperfections without making an enormous deal of it. Deal with that.

Little danish survival story, about how to survive farmville, where the tractorhumping and cowshoveling is bloodborne, and where the rednecks good old traditional jantelov where the first commandment says''youre nothing'' along with 9 more, that has ruined the main caracters ghildhood and age coming. Moving to the city becomming a liberal freestyler, vegan and other open sexual relationships, long hair cut short, and dressing more he than she, make the thin red line when she returns to jutland for her brothers wedding.

Its a film with the clashes of the giants, and where the table is set and adjusted, merely revengefilled and at moments rather embarrasing. Allthough its a drama it has a mouthful of comedy, and a lot of serious elements that may feel reckognizabel to many, the grumpy old man have had it all, well acted, good cast, unique settings but couldve had some more gunpowder in the end. There are possibilities that a sequel will come, and that ill look forward to. A recommend from the haystack...

If you find cliches quirky and fun and do not like to be challenged or surprised at any point, this movie may be for you.

The story is bland, the direction terrible and the actors clearly don't care.

Danish cinema has much to offer. I would suggest you find something else.
