Another Round Reviews
[Another Round] instead handles the subject matter with grace and a bit of humor throughout. Also, Mads Mikkelsen dancing, nothing else needs to be said...

Another Round is a high-concept character piece that dips its toes into national themes, but never long enough to put off the international market it’s clearly geared towards.

One thing that is certain is that the audience can raise a glass to Vinterberg’s work with Mikkelsen, which never fails to captivate. Salut!

Another Round explores the allure and slippery slope of self-medicating with alcohol. But it’s also about learning to be happy after becoming cognizant of how the day-to-day newness and excitement of youth imperceptibly morphed into mundane routine.

Vinterberg's movie is appealing because it's self-aware. It doesn't dismiss the seriousness of addiction, but it doesn't define it as something inescapable in an early stage, either.

The Academy seems to be slowly but surely moving in a more international direction, which is both great and long overdue...

Another Round is a raucous, joyous tale of friendship and catharsis.

Mikkelsen, Bo Larsen, Ranthe, and Millang bring out the best in each character's new growth of adulthood, pushing the boundaries of their rediscovered youth. Its final scene is one of the best of 2020, capturing resilience against life's worst.

Mads Mikkelsen delivers an incredibly nuanced performance... Vinterberg and co-writer Tobias Lindholm are unafraid to examine the good, the bad and the ugly sides of alcohol consumption and the effects it has on those drinking and those around them.

It’s really a nutty premise, the kind Hollywood is almost certain to remake and probably botch. But it works here because Vinterberg isn’t as enthralled with the concept as much as he is the people involved.

[The protagonists] are drinking their midlife crisis shaken, not stirred. [Full review in Spanish]

Even if the plot of Another Round feels a bit unsurprising, it is consistently engaging thanks to the performances of the four leads.

(...) Thus, beyond the authenticity in Mikkelsen's performance, one always feels the thin and malevolent threads of Vintenberg, that sly smile of an old testament's God who subjects his children to various challenges.

Director Thomas Vinterberg digs much deeper than the initial premise. In some ways, drinking is a very small part of this story, as we follow men in the tragicomic throes of midlife crisis.

Another Round works best as an experience to feel rather than an experience to analyse or really think about under a critical lens.

Another Round invites us to criticize and self-criticism. Which is no small thing in a world of irresponsible critics. [Full review in Spanish]

A provocative take on Danish drinking culture that asks a bold question and offers a mixed and surprising response, topped off with Mikkelsen's exuberant dance of freedom

The last shot of this film [is] as indelible as any you'll find...

As odd as it sounds, this is quite a beautiful, melancholy and emotionally astute movie, in ways that will gently take the viewer by surprise.
