As an amateur movie watcher I don't know much and I care even less at this point about visual effects and studio gimmicks, and I didn't even know about the 95 manifesto until I read some of the reviews for this title; instead, what I care about is the story and the message it sends, how and indeed if it manages to do so, and how the actors act. And for all those, this is a masterpiece.
This is a story about how life gets, the message is that love just happens, it just happens to some of us at the weirdest of times, and, if one cares to understand this, it's for the better, while if they don't, they will just suffer anyway. It is not the first Susanne Bier film I see and this is the sort of message she knows how to convey.
As for the acting, it is brilliant. Just thank God for Mads Mikkelsen. If you like this actor, see Open Hearts today! There is at least one scene which you will rewind. More than once.
