Another Round (2020)

Ignore ALL the high ratings and bogus reviews. This film is only at best a 6/10. Directing and performances were actually quite good, as was the humor.

But the almost 2 hour runtime with very slow pacing made it feel like it was 3 plus hours long. It was very predictable and not much suspense in the story. It's a shame the filmmakers have to resort to bogus ratings and reviews, it only shows they too had no faith in their own film, so they feel the need to deceive their potential viewers. Shame on you. It's a generous and honest 5/10 from me

Fmovies: It most certainly is a funny and emotional experience to watch this movie. The acting is phenomenal and the camera work make the scenarios feel very life-like and realistic. As always, Mads Mikkelsen performs at the highest level - as do the others. Also, the ending is great.

Jeg så filmen her søndag, og det med det samme er blevet, det bedste der er sket i 2020. Super sjov med masser af god humor og drama.

Another Round fmovies. Great plot. Great acting. Makes you want to live like a dane!

I'm glad that I had the chance to enjoy watching Another Round at home and that's thanks to the Toronto International Film Festival.

After his unforgettable performance in "The Hunt", Mads Mikkelsen gives us another great performance as he plays Martin in "Another Round", if I would choose which one is his best performance, I would choose "The Hunt" for sure and that's because of the emotional and deep feelings that character had and Mads Mikkelsen was able to express that perfectly, In "Another Round" his character is kind of similar to the one in "The Hunt" but the difference is that in "The Hunt" his character was battling a difficult time of his life as he gave up on it and doesn't have anything left to lose, he was desperate, but in "Another Round" it's kind of the opposite, he is trying to improve his life by maintaining a constant level of alcohol in his blood hoping it'll work, and Mads Mikkelsen was brilliant in that, sometimes by just looking into his eyes, you can feel what's inside of him, grief / happiness / loneliness / sadness and etc... The supporting cast was was brilliant, his other 3 friends were all great in their performances, when they wanted us to laugh we did laugh and when they wanted us to get emotional we did indeed get emotional, perfect casting.

For those who don't know both "The Hunt" and "Another Round" are directed by Thomas Vinterberg and that's why you might notice that the movie is a bit smilier to "Th Hunt" with the set design, the characters, and the message of the film, for example, the scene where the 4 friends went to the supermarket when they were drunk kind of reminded me of the one in "The Hunt" when he went inside the supermarket and got kicked out, but in my opinion, I prefer "Another Round" than "The Hunt", I gave "The Hunt" a 6.5/10 and I was disappointed by it especially that it has so many good reviews and that's why I was worried of watching "Another Round" because I felt like it would be the same but I was wrong. "Another Round" had so many conversations that were long but they were so fun not like "The Hunt", all the conversations were boring and cold, for example in "Another Round'' the scene that all of them were having dinner and that's when we started to know the story of the movie and where the movie is taking us, the movie started off with happiness and with so much energy but as we were going towards the movie it started to go down little by little and slowly and that's what I loved about it. The movie makes you wonder what will happen at the end and what their lives will be in the end and that's a thing that made me want to watch and enjoy the movie, the film made us happy and sad and happy and sad again all the time.

The set design was beautiful, the camera angles were able to capture the beauty of the set design and that's not a new thing to a Thomas Vinterberg film and maybe that might be the main reason why this movie remained me of "The Hunt". Martin's apartment, the school, and the dinner table with the amazing designs of the cups and glasses. The custom designs were pretty okay, they were matching the environment very well.

Thomas Vinterberg tells perfect stories of what alcohol can do. As a result of problems with teaching, private life, and general happiness - Four high school teachers agree to try an experiment exploring alcohol's influence. What happens when maintaining a constant promille of 0.5? Martin(Mads Mikkelsen) is the lead role, and the one we follow the most. He has an outstanding performance. The movie executes well to not have a biased opinion on drinking, but show the whole picture.

In the western world, Denmark is one of the countries with the most relaxed relationship to alcohol. The legal buying age is 16 and by high school a lot of students drink 20-50 units of alcohol a week.
