The Hunt

I just, don’t even know how to write this review. Had to be one of the most striking films I’ve ever seen. Oh my gosh I just can’t even describe the range of emotions I felt throughout everything. Trying to put myself in certain characters shoes while simultaneously wishing the absolute worst upon them. You try to understand, but in the scene, in the moment, it’s so incredibly difficult. That Christmas Eve scene was especially emotional for me. One of the tensest moments in film imo.  Mads Mikkelsen, ohh Mads Mikkelsen. That performance was just, as shallow as I’m thinking this sounds, unbelievable. And what a hell of a role to play, I can’t see any big names in Hollywood taking on a role like this today. Something else to mention is the scenery, I believe it was shot mostly in Denmark, as it is a Danish film. But my gosh it’s gorgeous out there. Almost felt like a little breather from the heaviness anytime they showed someone driving somewhere. Also, I got used to the subtitles in about 10 minutes, and I wouldn’t say they took away from the experience.   and no spoilers of course, but that ending was… good. Really good. Just absolutely brilliant
