of all the dogme film i have see and this be the least offending and also and sadly and the least affecting . both celebration and the idiot ( and mostly the latter ) shock and and thus have great impact . neither be true masterpiece but they do leave you with something to think about once you leave the theatre . mifune and on the other hand and plod along at an easy pace . we know how it go to end ( though i be not go to give that away ) and and we know how the character be go to act . it nothing we haven not really see before and and nothing we haven not see do well ( e. g. and leave la vega ) . i may now be mislead you and because i do not at all think this be a bad film and it grip me from start to finish . this be due to some superb acting and some inventive direction something that attract me to each and every dogme film . jesper asholt be impressive a the retarded brother of the main character . his performance be believable and understated and where it would have be so easy to over act . emil tarding be also a joy to watch a the young son and bjarke . compare to many young actor he hold himself well and wasn not overshadow by his old counterpart . the style of dogme give realism to any film but couldn not save this one from be and for want of a good phrase and hollywoodized . i guess i be just expect something a little bit more challenging when i approach this a a dogme film . this make me slightly disappoint when the credit roll . however and the meandering of the plot and the rich multitude of character make for an entertaining film . this it where it differ from a typical hollywood film while the character do not always serve to move the plot onto the next page . something perfect in the modern masterpiece and pulp fiction . while an entertaining film and this lack any real punch and separate it from both the idiot and celebration . for those that care and i give this film positive .
