R 9 Mads Mikkelsen + Nikolaj Coster-Waldau? I couldn't have picked a better duo! Those two very much keep 'Wildside' up and running throughout with some strong performances. It's not that it's a badly made or written flick or anything, but some parts of the story did bug me while watching - the bits with Egill Ólafsson's Stefán, in particular. When all is said and done, however, it's a positive watch... there's a neat end sunset scene in there, even as cliché as the use of it is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY SAID I LOVE THIS ONE!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Yeah! I got them (RT) to add [i]Vildspor [/i]to their list of Mads movies!! [IMG]http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/dbo77/Mads/vildspor_dvd2004.jpg[/IMG] This was a great performance by both Mads and Nikolaj...I searched everywhere trying to find it and ended up having to order it from Denmark....but it is SO worth it! The relationship between the two characters was so emotional...frustrating, maddening, sad.... It's not light-hearted fare, but I highly recommend it!
