Hvor kragerne vender

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.

A beautifully written, directed, lighted movie about the modern conflict in Denmark. The childhood in the farm, vs the new life in the city and memories arising as soon as you visit home. Very relatable, a great work.

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.

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...

A good story about city vs countryside people. A bit of annoying characters at times but all in all pretty good cinematography and direction. Nothing groundbreaking but definitely worth a watch!
