Kindergarten teacher Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen) finds his world turned upside down when he’s accused of inappropriate behaviour towards a young girl, incurring the unquestioning wrath of the local community. Propelled by an extraordinary performance from Mikkelsen, this distressing examination of false indictment and collective hysteria is an emotionally complex piece of work, balancing heart-stopping tension with intelligence and subtle provocation.
