Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: In his role, Thomsen is strong and convincing. Read more
Leighton Walter Kille, Boston Globe: While the entire movie is one massive flashback, the real reasons for all this Danish dysfunction go unexplored. Read more

Leslie Camhi, Village Voice: In the end, there's little left in that sad, cold figure at the head of the firm to compel our empathy or compassion. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: All the great emotions we're used to in the works of Ibsen and Shakespeare wash over us in bountiful flow. Read more
