Another Round (Druk)

POSITIVES…

  • An entertaining, compelling, and moving story that’s based on Finn Skårderud's hypothesis? Now that's a fascinating idea for a movie. 

  • Alcohol drinking aficionados will probably appreciate this film. 

  • As the plot progresses, the more it gets you interested in seeing how it's going to handle the conclusion to this story. 

  • Fantastic performances by Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang, Lars Ranthe, and Maria Bonnevie.

  • There's a certain joy and relatability seeing four friends having inebriated fun together. 

  • I would never have guessed that several of the best moments in this film are all about teaching. 

  • One fun scene had a history related test that you should participate in while watching. I'm proud to say that I knew the answer.  

  • "We only drink during work hours." 

  • Thematically has some solid commentaries about life worth addressing. 

  • Those of you who’ve only seen Mads Mikkelsen as a serious tough guy or menacing villain, really need to see his range in this. Just that last scene alone...

NEGATIVES…

  • First act moves at a deliberately slow pace, which might make some impatient. 

  • Considering the subject matter, there are sequences you all probably expect to see in this movie, and yeah it's a bit on the conventional side. 

  • It's subtitled. I know some people see that as an automatic negative. 

  • There will be people who will unfortunately learn the wrong lessons here.
