Mads as a teacher: Alcohol is not in my vodkabulary, but I looked it up on whiskeypedia. And learned if you drink too much, it's likely tequil-ya.
Have wanted to check this out for months after seeing that still of Mads circulating around film Twitter. After already loving pretty much everything about it, the final 5 minutes left me on probably my favorite ending of the year. Ahh! The backbone of this is the chemistry between these four men, who all have unique stories relating to alcohol that feel fully fleshed out by the end. Mads delivers, without a doubt, my favorite performance of the year. As of now! And the use of music throughout is working perfectly.
I haven't seen alcoholism portrayed like this before in a film. It's Very honest and not in an overly sappy way. It does a fantastic job of highlighting the seduction associated with drinking and not shying away from really showing how great that feeling is. A bit predictable, but I can't complain too hard. This is insanely great.
Sorry this review is a little sloppy, I'm just excited.
i feel like i've seen several versions of this film– the wish fulfillment/monkey's paw story as applied to average men whose averageness is their great crutch– but never so grounded, and never like this where it refuses the clean and obvious resolution you're expecting. i have mixed feelings about that, but damn if those final minutes aren't so delightful that you can't help but not care. nice to finally get to see mads as joyous and fun and charismatic on film as he is in the press! i can't imagine anyone watching this movie and leaving without a crush on him. not really the point of the movie, but it might as well be!
the only cinematic moment in 2020 that matters is mads mikkelsen dancing and spinning around while celebrating the joy of life. and in this moment you have the feeling no matter what you are going through, he gives you enough energy to pull yourself together and move on. give this man the recognition he freaking deserves for letting one feel so many emotions while watching his performances !!!
(sidenote: director thomas vinterberg and mads mikkelsen attended the screening i went to - which made this experience even better. but even without that bonus i'm really confident in saying that especially with not much coming out anymore this year it will be hard to top this movie for me)
Pretty sure this is the wrong takeaway from this movie but I'm gonna start drinking in the morning tomorrow
Any movie featuring Mads Mikkelsen dancing immediately gets five out of five stars, I don’t make the rules, people.
Thomas Vinterberg's ANOTHER ROUND (DRUK) is a warm, humane, darkly comic and cathartic portrait of midlife crisis, friendship and day drinking. The cast is great and Mads Mikkelsen gives his best performance in years.
The movie’s final moments are among my favorite in any movie this year.
Not since Billy Wilder's The Lost Weekend has a film so adeptly captured the experience of alcoholism, showing the creative aspects of the substance not as mutually exclusive with its destructive tendencies, and its destructive side not silencing its positive effects. Tactfully constructed, the film shows both sides of the coin. The rise and fall, the illumination and the curse, the divine drunkenness and the deadly hangover. Without judgment but with a narrative that allows us to evaluate all this, Vinterberg's understands that addiction is a journey without absolutes, and perhaps more importantly, that alcoholism is not the problem, rather a wrongful and harmful solution. It doesn't present those who suffer as being particularly depraved, stupid, or weak, but as people searching for a way out of a crisis, despondent resignation masquerading as acquiescence. The final 10 minutes are perhaps the strongest of any film this year, a fantastic array of exuberance that is simultaneously cathartic and perpetually haunting.
At a 40th birthday party, a group of boring, middle-aged high school teachers propose an “experiment” with daytime alcohol use. They claim to want to test a Norwegian scientist’s theory that the human beings perform better in perpetual states of intoxication. In reality, it’s an excuse to reclaim their youth and behave like their irresponsible students. With my 40th birthday weeks away, feeling older than dirt, after spending an entire year at home, this was a scenario I could relate to in no way whatsoever.
A drunk Mads Mikkelsen dancing has just saved 2020. Thomas Vinterberg's Danish drama 'Another Round' follows four teachers (Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Lars Ranthe and Magnus Millang) as they test a theory that man is born with half a per mille too little and thus suffer the various pleasures and consequences of being constantly drunk and the challenges it brings to their lives.
Another Round IS the best film of the year. Thomas Vinterberg's honest portrayal of alcoholism within Another Round is unlike anything I've ever seen as it depicts both the pleasures of alcohol whilst also showing the severe consequences it can have on a marriage, work and most importantly life. The film puts you through the ringer.…
boys,,,, PLS drink some water
next time you catch me in a bar i WILL be holding a loose hard boiled egg (uneaten)
More drama than comedy, Another Round details the highs and lows of becoming an alcoholic
Mads Mikkelsen bailando y escabiando, es la mejor escena que he visto en la historia del cine.
the whole film was fantastic but that last scene, possibly my favourite of all time. and the night out sequence (pre downward spiral) made me miss going out with my friends so goddamn much, i've never seen the pure hysterical joy of being fucked up with your besties so expertly portrayed on screen. cheers lads
