The Hunt Movie Review: | |
| Known for his often icy and violent characters, Mikkelsen impresses here as a warm-hearted man who finds himself caught up in a situation way beyond his control. Boyd van Hoeij-Variety Thomas Vinterberg's best film since "Festen" is an unsettling psychological drama built around a harrowing performance from Mads Mikkelsen. David Rooney-Hollywood Reporter What a knotty, frighteningly real drama 'The Hunt' is. Cath Clarke-Time Out A taut story of a man whose career is ruined because of a 5-year-old girl's false accusation of molestation. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve Has a wonderfully sly sense of understatement. Matt Glasby-Flicks.co.nz Often painful, but always riveting Dan Jardine-Cinemania The story is as chilling as the snow-dusted Christmas-time setting; it is measured, non-sensational and takes a sobering, slow-burn look at the way people behave when their common sense is replaced by hysteria. Jim Schembri-3AW Mads Mikkelsen is perfectly cast as a man unfairly accused of child abuse in writer/director Thomas Vinterberg's cautionary tale about small town mob justice. But like the film, there is something cold and clinical about it. Luke Buckmaster-Crikey ...watching an intelligent discourse on such a tricky subject makes for engrossing drama, even if it comes at the expense of our protagonist: a good man stranded in the void between moral panic and due process. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat The Hunt is a confronting and fascinating work of cinema. Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy This is unshakeable storytelling, which is fitting for a film that reveals how certain damage can never be undone. Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia) A superb performance from Madds Mikkelsen lies at the heart of this chilling tale of a small Danish community turning on an innocent man. Simon Weaving-Screenwize To call The Hunt gripping would be like calling Annie Hall funny. It is, but it's also so much more than that. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia) Nuanced but robust, the screenplay is a masterclass in exposition, drama, character portraiture - and cinema. It is also a vivid warning to society that yes, 'thought is a virus' that can maim and even kill Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile Mikkelsen delivers yet another superlative performance ... The film builds to a stunning crescendo, playing out in the candle-lit church on Christmas Eve with heartbreaking conviction. But there is more to come, in a chilling postscript Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile Its genius is the way that it uses the most horrendous of subject matters to explore the gravest issues of trust. Graham Young-Birmingham Mail This is a deeply intelligent, profoundly moving and often harrowing illustration of why reports of - and investigations into - sex abuse, need to be handled with the sort of care afforded to genuine victims. Graham Young-Birmingham Post Humans do terrible things to one another. In The Hunt, Vinterberg believes we can do right too. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix Immensely powerful in its invocation of the true meaning of Christian charity and its symbolism. Philip French-Observer [UK] The Hunt is a terrifying film, anchored by Mikkelsen's poignantly poised turn and saturated with uncomfortable truths about society, childhood and our susceptibility to mass hysteria. Emma Dibdin-Digital Spy The last moments of the film elicited gasps from several people in the audience. Ian Gilchrist-HeyUGuys Mads Mikkelsen is fantastic as the bewildered and honourable Lucas, while the rest of the main cast are equally believable. Grant Rollings-Sun Online A timely and intelligent reminder of the dangers of public hysteria. Damon Wise-Radio Times | |
