    Great film, gives a good view of the effects of war on a family.

    Gripping, psychologically intense and dead-on believable, this one will keep you thinking about the Cain and Abel dimensions for days to come. Morally complex, dramatic and intelligent.

    A intense Dogme film, acted with such ferocity.

    While the film's strength lies in an ensemble effort, it's really Sarah and Jannik who provide the film with its most compelling characters, its momentum and, ultimately, its heart.

    Sounds rather soapy and melodramatic, but director Susanne Bier, assisted by an able cast, ensures the traumas are painfully realistic and subtly observed.

    What sets Bier's film apart from similar fare are the consistently fine performances and powerful scenes of surprising ferocity.
