It’s anger porn and bad decisions all the way through, just absolutely agonizing to watch. Who the fuck rated this positively? They even had the very much repeated “oh no almost got hit by a semi” trope. How many bad decisions can you make coupled with lack of self preservation for your own life and especially your child’s? Fuck right off with this
I saw the Danish original, and it’s very bleak, but the decision-making didn’t bother me because after watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I assumed that people in that part of the world have a hang-up about politeness. To the extent that a fear of being impolite overwhelms any fear for your own safety.
Maybe it made more sense than the American remake (which I’m guessing is what you’re talking about).
Yeah if you watch the interview with the director that was the while point of them movie was. How far people would go for politeness.
