★ 7/10 • Sep 16, 2025

This film delivers a tremendous black comedy, masterfully blending a sharp plot with a signature Nordic coldness. The entire cast of characters is delightfully eccentric. It's essentially Snatch done Nordic-style—a must-watch for anyone seeking a top-tier dark comedy from Denmark.
