Another Round Reviews
Another Round is a raucous, joyous tale of friendship and catharsis.
Full Review | Original Score: A+ | Mar 8, 2023
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.

There's a woozily poetic quality, too, to Vinterberg's direction, which is anchored by a still but simmering central performance from the excellent Mikkelsen.

A film that, being an elegy, allows for other interpretations. [Full review in Spanish]
Full Review | Aug 16, 2021
The film is well directed. It is well acted. Mikkelsen is always as compelling as his cheekbones. But it's so muddled in its thinking -- alcohol is good; no, it's bad... but good -- that it ends up with nothing of value to say.

The first thing that stands out in the film Another Round is the subtlety with which Vinterberg approaches this issue. [Full review in Spanish]

The acting is good, but the story just feels unconvincing [Full review in Spanish]

Another Round is a funny, poignant, devastating piece of cinema and everyone involved should be so proved of what they achieved
