Full Plot Details

Anton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark, and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds, he and his family are faced with conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne, who have two young sons, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce. Their older, ten-year-old son Elias is being bullied at school, until he is defended by Christian, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father, Claus. Christian's mother recently lost her battle with cancer, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger. Ultimately, it is their parents who are left to help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain and empathy.

Movie Reviews

At the Movies (Australia) - 10/10 by Margaret PomeranzIt's a beautiful, sad, ultimately compassionate film about the origins of violence, wherever it rears its head, and the implications of dealing with it.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Erica Abeel...it's refreshing to encounter a deeply involving film unafraid of raw, visceral emotion, a film that for once thinks almost too big.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatA poignant drama about the universal appeal of violence in our psyches and in cultures around the globe.
Associated Press - 10/10 by David GermainIn a Better World demonstrates Danish director Susanne Biers' supreme gift at telling the gloomiest of stories that, while not exactly winding up in feel-good territory, at least finish with a strong affirmation of the decent things in life.
Houston Chronicle - 9/10 by Amy BiancolliThe film about violence and retribution is a tough piece of work, subtle in some ways, obvious in others, viscerally affecting throughout.
LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh Larsen...the two child performances are the emotional lynchpin of the movie.
Tribune News Service - 9/10 by Roger MooreA most deserving Oscar winner and a film that could provoke discussion anywhere it is shown, anywhere people of any age are being bullied.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyDenmark's Oscar entry is a poignant, provocative film about masculinity, parents' responsility and the dangers of violence in everyday life.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 9/10 by David EdelsteinBier dramatizes our ambivalence so earnestly that it's tempting to give her awards rather than admit that the movie is a crushing bore.
Back Stage - 9/10 by Pete HammondA riveting movie that must be seen. There's a very good reason it won that Oscar.
