      JustAstros u ЕЩЁ ПО ОДНОЙ “Губит людей не пиво” Давненько я не смотрел…кино в принципе, и…сделал просто отличный выбор, решив, посмотреть лауреата Оскар в категории “лучший фильм на иностранном языке” в Оскар-2021. Картина даннского режиссера Томаса Винтерберга рассказывает о четверо друзей среднего возраста, которые переживают кризис средних лет, и решают провести эксперимент – а что если напиваться каждый день? Мне сюжет очень понравился тем, что он не моральфажит, и показывает обе стороны монеты, а не просто несёт посыл “ой, ой, ой, какие плохие алкаши”, и не становится аморальным, неся посыл “пить – это круто!” Сюда же можно приплести то, что картина не романтизирует чрезмерное употребление алкоголя и показывает то, что перебор – до добра не доведёт. И да, ещё понравилось то, что как они показали профессию учителей, вроде мелкая деталь, но приятно, что авторы постарались. И в целом, круто то, что сценаристы хорошо прописали психологическую и философскую часть фильма. Мадс Миккельсен просто шикарный, и жаль, что я до этого очень мало чего с ним смотрел, и надеюсь, я скоро исправлюсь. Он тут очень отлично и реалистично отыгрывает мужчину с кризисом среднего возраста, и круто то, что это не экспрессивная игра, а более сдержанная, и это офигенно. Остальные актёры тоже хорошие, но я лично ничего не могу сказать о них, но они молодцы. Операторская работа в некоторых сценах довольна креативная. Атмосфера Дании просто отличная. Не понравилось только то, что в некоторых сценах, фильм очень наивен в реакции учеников, и не понравилось ещё то, что фильм как бы не показывает жену главного героя достаточно плохой, после того, что она сделала, и делает вид, что как будто это ГГ виноват во всём, и должен извиниться перед ней, но а она молчит, и даже не признает свою вину. Но если закрывать глаза на минусы, фильм отличный. 9/10. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Peter G This interesting film suffers a bit in its ambivalence towards its subject matter. It has strong scenes depicting its 4 character's eventual, destructive experimenting with alcohol used to release their teaching stasis & boredom in dealing with their students. Staying within a blood/alcohol limit of 0.5 becomes impossible for these 4 & their eventual descent into EXCESS (one of the film‘s problems is in failing to acknowledge the word ADDICTION ) plays out well until it becomes clear that the filmmaker seems to be playing down the fact that these teachers have not the control or self discipline to deal with their dependency. At the end there is a big graduation party with both students & at least 3 of the teachers enjoying themselves which is fine but I do not for a minute believe that the teachers, themselves, in their new popularity, will not slip into back into the heavy drinking which will, in the end, continually compromise their responsibilities as teachers. IMO, the 3 (a 4th one kills himself) have or are becoming alcoholics so whatever cautionary comment on their behavior is murky at best. Heavy alcohol consumption over, often, a short or longer period of time, does not end well & the film‘s uncertainty in presenting these facts undermines its effectiveness. Fortunately the performances, especially from Mads Mikelson, keep one's interest & attention despite the contradictory attitudes expressed in the scenario. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Huub B Beautifull movie that seems so simple but goes so deep. This storytelling was great but at the same time simple. The swedish language also added. I did think some things were too simple tho. Like them just immediately succeeding in everything as if that would happen. Do really like the ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Rory M Really enjoyed this movie. I found it very funny. Great camaraderie in the quartet. I left not quite sure how to feel about alcohol OR if the middle-aged boozers had learned anything to move them forward in life. Despite these lingering questions, the movie has a great script, characters that feel real and is well worth the ride! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Ben N Excellent look inside the effects both positive and negative of drinking. The inevitable downfall of anyone who thinks drinking can be a solution to any problem is present, but so is the fact that underneath anxiety and appropriateness lies a spirit within each of us that yearns for freedom and to connect to those around us. The lesson, if one, to take from this film is to let that spirit free without the alcohol. That is the trick, right? Excellently written, painful and ridiculous at the same time - and masterfully acted. I really enjoyed this film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Cole N It's a slow but overall entertaining story about how an experiment that involves day drinking with the fellas ends up being a desperate attempt to shift from the banality of their daily lives with mixed consequences. Excellent performances all around with a great mix of comedy and deep emotionality. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Charles Bramesco Inside Hook The last shot of this film [is] as indelible as any you'll find... Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator The film is well directed. It is well acted. Mikkelsen is always as compelling as his cheekbones. But it's so muddled in its thinking -- alcohol is good; no, it's bad... but good -- that it ends up with nothing of value to say. Jul 29, 2021 Full Review Robbie Collin Kermode & Mayo's Film Review It's about a lack of you-ness, forgetting who you are. There's emotional charge to that ending... Jul 9, 2021 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film [Another Round] instead handles the subject matter with grace and a bit of humor throughout. Also, Mads Mikkelsen dancing, nothing else needs to be said... Feb 23, 2024 Full Review Ben Flanagan Vague Visages Another Round is a high-concept character piece that dips its toes into national themes, but never long enough to put off the international market it’s clearly geared towards. Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney Mr. Movie's Film Blog One thing that is certain is that the audience can raise a glass to Vinterberg’s work with Mikkelsen, which never fails to captivate.
