Gripping and (mostly) hard to watch, but ultimately worth it.

Thanks to a benignant performance from Mads Mikkelsen, The Hunt proves to be a straight forward yet profoundly thoughtful drama, depicting the what-if events in the situation of a harmless lie ultimately becoming the deadly truth, with it's storyline unraveling quite naturally by it's assembled cast and Vinterberg's dedicated direction.

What happens when you are mistaken for a pedophile? Through a series of misunderstandings, a man is put on trial by hearsay and gossip until his life is destroyed. Even after he clears his name, will the backlash stop? Powerful film. Difficult subject matter handled superbly. Mads Mikkelsen proves himself to be one of the most talented actors of his generation.

A teacher is falsely accused of molesting a young girl, his best friend's daughter. The highlight of this film is the tensely controlled performance by Mads Mikkelsen. He is appropriately morally outraged at times, and his face conveys a forced hope of dignity. The film moves slowly and could've probably been about twenty minutes shorter without losing much of its effect. The plot unfolds predictably, but it's Mikkelsen who keeps everything interesting. Overall, this film is strong primarily because of Mikkelsen.
