Holy Spider (2022)

  • Abbasi, Ali
  • 2022, Ali Abbasi, Denmark, Germany
  • Leave a comment

Abbasi’s disquieting based-on-a-true-story work about an unorthodox serial killer who ‘takes care’ of prostitutes in the name of religion is as dark as they come, set in the most unexpected of locations—the holy Iranian city of Mashhad. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Flee (2021)

  • Others
  • 2021, Denmark, Documentary
  • 3 Comments

Animated documentaries may be few and far between, but this is an affecting work that skilfully details an Afghan refugee’s harrowing life story fleeing from war and conflict, and more introspectively, from himself. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Another Round (2020)

  • Vinterberg, Thomas
  • 2020, Denmark, Thomas Vinterberg
  • 3 Comments

It’s not exactly a special film and gets bogged down by a narrative that is far more predictable than you think, but there’s a certain charm to how this alcohol-meets-schoolteachers drama plays out, backed by an indelible turn from Mads Mikkelsen. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Hunt, The (2012)

  • Vinterberg, Thomas
  • 2012, Denmark, Thomas Vinterberg
  • 2 Comments

Drags a bit too long for its own good, but Vinterberg’s latest remains to be a fairly compelling drama with fine performances.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thelma (2017)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2017, Denmark, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 3 Comments

Joachim Trier’s attempt at genre-type filmmaking doesn’t really break new ground in this straightforward Norwegian psychological drama centering on a young woman with hidden telekinetic powers.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Kingmaker, The (2019)

  • Others
  • 2019, Denmark, Documentary, USA
  • 1 Comment

If politics can be beguiling, then this documentary about Imelda Marcos entertainingly captures the ups and downs of The Philippines’ larger sociopolitical history with aplomb. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Oslo, August 31st (2011)

  • Trier, Joachim
  • 2011, Denmark, Joachim Trier, Norway
  • 2 Comments

A recovering drug addict leaves his rehabilitation centre for a day to visit his acquaintances in this restrained, melancholic if also warmly empathetic second feature by Joachim Trier.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dancer in the Dark (2000)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2000, Denmark, Lars von Trier
  • 1 Comment

One of von Trier’s very best, this is bold and provocative filmmaking that very few could attempt to pull off with such skill and artistry.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

House That Jack Built, The (2018)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2018, Denmark, Lars von Trier
  • 2 Comments

3.5 stars

The Danish provocateur returns with an extremely violent and nihilistic work, one that is nasty yet utterly fascinating at the same time.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II (2013)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2013, Denmark, Germany, Lars von Trier
  • 2 Comments

A slightly stronger work than the first volume—one that benefits greatly from Charlotte Gainsbourg’s bravura performance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
