  Review by Hutch ★★★

  March Around the World 2022 - Iceland 🇮🇸 - 25/30

  Daniel doesn’t play by the rules. When the cops try to pull him over for ignoring the road signs, he doesn’t hear their siren because he’s listening to a marimba version of a Bach Prelude through his headphones. And when they force him off the road and pull him out of the car he still insists they wait for the piece to end before politely asking them what they want. 

  He’s a resolutely nice guy. It’s just that everyone’s out to get him, and especially the parking wardens. In his spare time, which is all of his time, he does street graffiti on a commission basis. One day he falls…

  Review by felixbjornemalm ★★★★½

  Hvilket bedre valg til en varm sommeraften? Jeg har svært ved at beskrive, hvorfor jeg holder så meget af denne ellers undseelige, lille film. Måske er det filmens simple, rustikke, nærmest hjemmelavede kvalitet, der får én til at føle, at man selv kunne have skudt det hele med et par venner over en weekend. Eller måske den lidt pladderromantiske historie om ung forelskelse, som lykkeligt omfavner alle klichéerne med deres smukke banaliteter og uforfalskede rigdom af følelser. Måske det lettere bedagede portræt af København i sommer med udgåede færdselsskilte og Breezer-etiketter og fodbolduniformer og Knippelsbro, der åbner sig, som pludselig minder én om en tid, der allerede virker som for evigt siden. Som at læse et gammelt kærestebrev. Usmykket, naivt, længselsfuldt og totalt berusende.

  Review by Tom Morton ★★★

  The first hour of this is a pleasingly low-key, witty sort of slacker-y comedy about an unemployable guy who paints graffiti messages on commission to get by, and his friend who works in a sleep-research lab but dreams of being a football referee. They both fall for the same woman and things proceed in amiable fashion, all filmed in gritty Clerks-esque black and white. The humour feels quite unusual and the soundtrack is good, and everything ticks along nicely. 

  It kinda makes a generic swing into more serious territory after that though, and loses its own identity a bit - I feel like I’ve seen a lot of similar dramatic turns in indie comedy-dramas and this one doesn’t do much…

  Review by Andreas Jensen ★★★★

  Dagur Kári's Cannes nominated Dark Horse feels like a mix between The Worst Person in The World, Frances Ha, Jules and Jim and Chunking Express and is pretty damn hard to resist. It tells the typical coming of age/quarter life crisis-story made many times before, but the way it tells that is fresh, strangely comforting and really charming. I didn’t always understand the choices made by the main character, but I felt everything along with him and isn’t that your twenties in a nutshell for ya? Beautifully shot by Manuel Alberto Claro, expertly edited along with a lovely, lovely score. Dark Horse is a beautiful dream you can put on during a rainy day and will instantly cheer you up.

  Review by Fint ★★★½

  What are the odds? Two Scandinavian films on consecutive days, both divided into 12 titled chapters, both featuring an unplanned pregnancy and both containing a trip on magic mushrooms. I felt like I was having my own trip, let me tell you.

  Dark Horse, with its tendency to coast on quirk and the sense that there is less to it than meets the eye, is not as satisfying as The Worst Person in the World, but it does contain a succession of nicely observed off-beat comic vignettes. It's just a shame it didn't manage to integrate these more successfully with the darker moments.

  Review by Fajar Ibrahim ★★★½

  The bored judge subplot feels unnecessary to be crammed into the main plot. Even though it may serve as a different perspective in contrast to the main character's problem and way of life, the subplot can easily be cut down to make the movie tighter. However, Dark Horse is still pretty entertaining as an offbeat dramedy peopled by colorful, off the wall characters.

  Film fra Jonas - 7

  Jeg må indrømme at Voksne Mennesker ikke talte til mig som jeg kunne se filmen ville tale til mig... Hvis det giver mening. Det hjalp heller ikke at jeg ikke 100% forstod nogle af de valg historien tog. Specielt parallelhistorien med dommeren havde jeg lidt svært ved at se den dybere mening med. Og hvis meningen blot er - den etablerede mand vil gerne være fri contra den frie mand der bliver etableret - synes jeg det er et lidt stort nummer at gøre ud af det. Voksne Mennesker har dog sine gode momenter, Nicolas Bro er sjov og den kørende joke med Breezers er ret fed. Alt i alt ikke noget mesterværk, men en fin lille film.

  3/5

  Review by Jonas K Rode

  Voksne mennesker er en smuk kærlighedshistorie om slackeren Daniel, hans ven kaldet 'morfar', en charmerende bagerpige og en midtvejskrise ramt dommer.
  Historien er finurlig og flere simple scener bliver udført originalt.
  Den er filmet i smågrynet sort/hvid, men det er den ikke kun for at virke prætentiøs og art, der er en grund til det, der er tænkt over det visuelle udtryk. Universet er lidt skævt og uden for normalen, det går igen i klipningen og det giver det en lidt drømmende og dragende stemning.
  Skuespillet er super godt, men jeg vil godt fremhæve Tilly Scott Pedersen som charmerende bagerpige som man næsten bliver lidt forelsket i.
