Following the death of her mother, Ida (Sandra Kampp) moves in with her aunt (Sidse Babette Knudsen) and her grown sons. Though her Aunt’s home is filled with physical tenderness and love, the family leads a violent and criminal life. And when an unforeseen murder puts pressure on the family and their loyalty to each other, tension builds as love and violence become impossible to separate. Featuring a breakout performance from Kampp, the acclaimed debut feature from Jeanette Nordahl is an enthralling, brooding and utterly gripping thriller that packs a powerful emotional punch.

Ida could tell you a thing or two about how you don't choose your family. Wildland is the story of a family that may seem idyllic at first glance, but as it happens, a second look will sober both you and Ida. The biggest weakness of the film is the script, which is sometimes too stilted and doesn't really reveal much about the characters, so you have to guess a lot, which is not always a bad thing, but here it was underdeveloped in certain moments, especially in the case of Ida's initiation into the "family trade". Nevertheless, I still had a very uncomfortable feeling on several occasions when I realised how toxic and destructive this family is. Overall, the film hovers between three and four stars for me, but I'll give it a raise for the ending.
