      John DeFore Hollywood Reporter Initially intriguing but ultimately saddled with more quirks than it can handle. Sep 19, 2007 Full Review Robert Koehler Variety Despite both Steen as a thesp and Jensen as a writer making their early international impact with Dogma works, the austere verities are long gone here. Sep 10, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the film eventually wears out its welcome... Rated: 2/4 Oct 16, 2007 Full Review Kim Voynar Cinematical I know, I know -- there's nothing funny about spousal abuse. And yet, there are very funny moments in this film that allow it to be entertaining, in spite of its potentially weighty subject matter.

      Mads Niklas F Personally I think it is one of the better Danish movies, the humor is spot on Danish, it might be a little more exclusive if one if not familiar with Danish humor and culture. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A nice comedy/drama about work, ambitions and marital lives.... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Meget bedre end jeg havde regnet med selv om Paprika Steen tydeligvis har lånt lidt hist og her fra andre danske komedier. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Another great movie from Denmark. Interesting questions are taken with rather simple story: If people have problems why do not they talk about it? Should you always follow your dreams or should you sacrifice your dreams in the name of love? Should you stop someone from following their dreams? Beautiful story and set of interesting characters. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Anything Anders Thomas Jensen touches is worth a look! When he's directing his own script, the outcome is top notch, but a decent director can't fail badly either! This movie is filled with interesting views on envy in a relationship and the movie has hilarious characters! See this one. You won't regret it!
