The Worst Film Ever

Fresh and Exciting

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

more than a film, it is a trip. in yourself. around demons and fears and escapes. in the middle of moments and memories. for discover the truth. it is an impeccable film at each level. and the basic motif for see it is the impressive performances. the profound story , who reminds the roots of a tree. it could be defined as psychological drama. in fact, it is more a spiritual film, spiritual being more than religious. because it gives an entire universe of expectations and mysteries and an impressive revelation. because it has the force for transform you in one of its characters.

I must say that I had great expectations from this movie. Grabol is one of my favorite actresses because of The Killing series. Nevertheless, this movie is a major waste of time. I know that there is a nuance for the disadvantaged teenager who had a rough time since he is a child. But this does not necessarily mean that he can just enter a house and kill 2 innocent people for nothing. He was searching for his grandfather and he discovered 2 strangers in the house who bought the house. If he had bad childhood after he was taken from this grandfather, does it justify that he can go and kill so violently 2 old people ? What did they do to him besides buying his grandfather's cottage house ? This movie is so naive and it wants us to have symphaty for the criminally insane.

Great danish psychological drama, with good direction, acting, cinematography. A young sociopath, Knud, is imprisoned in a high- security hospital after a brutal murder. Is there a reason for that unintelligible crime? A psychiatrist, Lisbeth, develops experiments while she takes care of those potentially dangerous patients. She is not able to deal with that boy and asks for the help of a Lutheran priestess, Helen. Their jobs and interests may be incompatible. The story of the sociopath is not the only one to be discovered. And there is also a yellow cat. "I lossens time" or "The hour of the lynx" is a careful film about how three minds interfere with each other in a quite complex game. If it were a Hollywood film, I am sure it would have a very numerous audience in all the world.

There's a lot of good stuff coming from Scandinavia these days, both in movies (Jagten, A Royal Affair, King of Devil's Island, Sons of Norway, Dead Snow 2, Trollhunter, Sound of Noise, Turist, We Are the Best!) as in television (The Killing, The Bridge). This is not one of them though. I lossens time (aka. The Hour of the Lynx) is as boring and conventional as Kvinden i buret (aka. The Keeper of Lost Causes). It feels like watching a very average made-for-television movie. The editing is often irritating, the characters have no depth whatsoever and the backstory is plainly predictable. Sofie Gråbøl, who plays the female priest Helen, keeps everything from falling apart. Although her acting resembles Sarah Lund a bit too much, she nonetheless portrays a convincing Lutheran priest. Apart from that, this film has almost nothing to offer. Especially the emotional uppercut where this movie aims at, is virtually inexistent. But maybe I'm a robot.
