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.

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

Rated: 4/5

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

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.

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 4/4

Flick Feast

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.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

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
