Anklaget (2005)

Anklaget: Directed by Jacob Thuesen. With Troels Lyby, Sofie Gråbøl, Paw Henriksen, Louise Mieritz. In a “normal” Danish family, Stine, 14, has become reclusive. She tells the school psychologist that her dad sexually abused her. He calls her a chronic liar. He’s arrested. Guilty?

“If Sofie Gråbøl gets any better than in this movie, itu0026#39;s scary!! I hope for her that she can keep on improving her acting, but I fear that she will be on a u0026quot;Mission Impossibleu0026quot; if she has to do better than this performance. She is simply outstanding, and she singlehandedly saves the movie, when the script runs away with it round an easy Hollywood corner, that makes everything fit too well into script-mathematics. Just watched the extra material on DVD and was a bit embarrassed on behalf of director Jacob Thuesen, when after meeting the press at The Berlinale (Film Festival) he seemed surprised, that his audience wanted to talk about the subject of the film (incest), rather than the u0026quot;filmtechnical mattersu0026quot; (which he had hoped for). Proves to me, that this was another film where the filmmakers aim for the perfect effective drama, rather than caring for what is on their mind and heart. Damn effective though – not least through the first 4/5 of the movie.”
