    One of the best films to open in the Bay Area in 2007.

    A highly original and unusually powerful drama that deserves comparison to the great Scandinavian films of the past.

    Evidently, this bloated piece of Oscar-nominated nonsense was a big hit in Denmark, which makes me think there's a glittering future in that otherwise discriminating country for several seasons of "Days of Our Lives."

    This movie is perfect. Just be ready for an emotional wallop however. It surprised me in its level of emotional sophistication in scene after scene. I completely agree with the Salon reviewer!… Expand
