Critics Consensus

Take one part deftly directed tragicomedy, add a dash of Mads Mikkelsen in vintage form, and you've got Another Round -- an intoxicating look at midlife crises.

Chase Hutchinson

Seattle Times

A bittersweet existential dramedy that sees a magnificent Mads Mikkelsen lighting up the screen with one of the all-time great movie dance sequences, it’s a triumph as tactile as it is tragic.

Mads Mikkelsen is on vintage form in this boozy tale of family and masculinity.

The last shot of this film [is] as indelible as any you'll find...

Deep Focus Review

Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round dances on the ledge between tragedy and comedy, chaos and clarity.

Another Round is as fun and life-affirming as it is splendidly realised and crafted. Much like catching up with a great friend over pints in the pub, you can’t help but want more of it.

Rated: 5/5

ANOTHER ROUND could easily have become a paean for navel-gazing self-discovery... Instead, it’s soulful and tender, never judging its leads even as they wreck themselves in pursuit of something nonexistent.

Rated: 5/5

Richly painted and powered by a killer screenplay and direction by Thomas Vinterberg, Another Round demands that certain things happens to make other stuff work better, but as a whole this film hit every note perfectly alongside a terrific (duh) performance by Mads Mikkelsen.

A great story about how alcohol can offer so much but can also lead down a dangerous path.

Ever watch a movie and enjoy it, but are unable to explain why? That’s how I feel about Another Round, Thomas Vinterberg’s film about four teachers who decide to follow a Norwegian psychologist’s theory that humans operate more effectively with a blood alcohol content of .05%. Is it the moral ambiguities presented that are problematic? Maybe…I don’t know. Is it the fuzzy messaging the movie presents? Could be…again, I don’t know. Here are three things that I do know, though – 1) the writing is excellent, 2) Mads Mikkelsen is fantastic, as always (his dance at the end is great), and 3) I, for some reason, liked it…but feel as though I shouldn’t…and I don’t know why.

Original screenplay and well acted. Especially love Mads M. He is always so interesting to listen to and watch. Be sure to watch the very end. Mads does a crazy funny dance scene. Movie has lot of laughs but also deep moments. It's good. Best part, no guns and bombs going off.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Would have been way better if it was a 90 film of Mads Mikkelsen dancing. That was an inspired scene. The rest? Not so much.

Mads rocks but the B and C plots are pretty light and the entire movie ramps up too quickly and never truly engages with consequences
