When the film reveals all its secrets, the result is a poignant ode to the sanctity of human life, no matter how compromised the gene pool may be.
The performances are excellent. The actors capture the boorishness and animalistic side of their characters, but also their vulnerability in the face of a world that makes such little sense to them.
There is much black humour and people getting hit with stuffed animals in this macabre comedy from the writer of In a Better World.
Hilarious in places, hideous in others, this struggles to make its philosophical case. But the performances are exceptional and the conceit could not be more daring or distinctive.
This Danish film steers the right side of wackiness in its tale of two strange brothers meeting their estranged extended family.
