Hector I In a quiet village in Denmark's beautiful democracy, a kindergarten teacher (Mads Mikkelsen) is accused of sexual abuse by a child. Suddenly, his whole life is turned upside down, and most of his friends, family and colleagues become involved in a manhunt in a judicial and, above all, human system that has gone mad. A powerful echo of the latest cases and, more generally, of social banishment, even after a judgment that clears you. This social killing is even more violent in a small community, almost making you miss the anonymous big cities. It's a committed, courageous film about the wrongly accused, whom we'd almost forgotten. It's also about the evolution of children's voices in modern society, and the timeless ravages of rumor. Yes, it lacks a little restraint at times, but everything is done to make us take the hero's side, even if his softness sometimes annoys. All this is set against splendid Scandinavian landscapes, soberly and magnificently filmed in a film ending that leaves all its darkness to the subject.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Millie C So tense! This movie will have you on the edge of your seat and bring tears to your eyes. It was so good, definitely a must see from me, enjoyed it so much and would 100% recommend it, an intriguing and unique story i’ve never seen portrayed before and Lucas is played so well by Mads Mikkelsen, so impressed with how much this movie impacted me. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Marit Risto F Tragic story about lies, and prejudice against male caretakers. There's general frustration, and horror. A pity that Mikkelsen always plays the bad guy, or the one getting into trouble. He's so wonderful in many ways Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
