Mads Mikkelsen is on vintage form in this boozy tale of family and masculinity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2024

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

| Sep 21, 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.

| Jul 29, 2021

It's about a lack of you-ness, forgetting who you are. There's emotional charge to that ending...

| Jul 9, 2021

Alcohol is a dangerous pal, the film seems to be saying, but that does not mean it can't still be a pal. For some. Under certain conditions.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 4, 2021

A heady, vibrant, funny film about Danish drinking culture and middle-aged angst. But it also speaks to the great personal pain that lies hidden within its frames.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 2, 2021

Another Round is made irresistible by Mikkelsen: such a noble face, such a wonderful presence even when most withdrawn, battered and saddened.

| Jun 30, 2021

If it says nothing new about the dangers of over-indulgence, Another Round is funny and rich, a fresh, perfectly played, clear-eyed take on middle age ennui. Intoxicating.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2021

Another Round has the lurching rhythm of a drinking session. All is great fun, or at least loudly harmless, right up the point when it isn't.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2021

So much more than a gaudy comedy - a warning to hold onto what you love in life with all your might.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 30, 2021

Another Round is a very entertaining film. It's energetic, attentively shot and exceedingly well acted - which is impressive because it's so easy to overdo playing drunk.

| Mar 25, 2021

Even here, as a character with no discernible personality, Mikkelsen casts a sympathetic, believable shadow. His Martin is a nowhere man of great distinction, stuck in a nowheresville of a movie.

| Mar 20, 2021

A peak-form Mads Mikkelsen stars in this hilarious and heartbreaking spellbinder as a Copenhagen high-school teacher who thinks day drinking might sharpen his faculties. The Oscar for Best International Feature belongs right here.

| Original Score: 90/100 | Mar 19, 2021

Thomas Vinterberg is incredibly astute when it comes to how humans behave in extraordinary circumstances.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 28, 2021

Audaciously provocative and wickedly funny...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2021

More than anything, Vinterberg's film is a coming-of-age fable in reverse, defined in equal measures by merriment and melancholy. And when these potent elements are mixed correctly, the effect is intoxicating.

| Feb 15, 2021

I found it unsatisfying on a great many levels, despite the excellent performances of the four actors who play the teachers.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 13, 2021

There's a louche '70s swagger to the film, as it follows this tightening band of brothers' increasingly erratic behaviour non-judgementally. The tragicomic tracing of male fragility is fascinating.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 11, 2021

Smart and unflinching, Another Round is classic Vinterberg, and reminds us why Mikkelson has become such a hot property not just in Denmark, but internationally.

| Feb 11, 2021

There is some quiet comedy about all this, but the film never breaks into the open plains of mirth. That's because it has a deep and rich lode of melancholy to mine.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 10, 2021
