Reviews for Den du Frygter
1 - 7 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Couple the deft writing, direction and superb acting, especially Ulrich Thomsen, with the lush, beautiful photography (by Jens Schlosser) and you get an above average study...
06/13/09
The kind of concept Alfred Hitchcock would have loved ... a hauntingly effective little film.
06/11/09
A calm, quiet performance from Ulrich Thomsen initially seems too restrained, but Levring and his star prove they know exactly what they are doing in this uniquely startling character study.
06/08/09
The latest from the Dogma cine-factory is notable for director Kristian Levring's visual suggestion of madness.
05/03/09
A dark thriller that doesn't completely come together but Thomsen's excellent performance keeps it from falling apart and fans of left-of-center suspense films should take a look.
03/19/09
...remains curiously uninvolving for the bulk of its running time.
