Thomas Vinterberg's The Hunt conveys the sinister swirl of persecution more vividly than any film I can remember.
Through it all, we see an idyllic-looking community, where glorious fall colors fade into twinkling December snow - a pretty frame for a terrifying story of a modern-day witch hunt.
It's hard to watch. It should be seen.
Vinterberg orchestrates the material impressively, increasing tension little by little until it becomes overwhelming.
The Hunt offers a powerful, provocative study of mob mentality and the fabric of trust.
Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen delivers an astonishingly restrained and expressive central performance in The Hunt, an engrossing psycho-social drama by Thomas Vinterberg.
... a movie of uncommon power about the evil that well-meaning people commit when given license by what they perceive as atrocity.
A strong, moving portrait of a man shunned by the only society he knows for reasons he can't understand, marked by a stunning lead performance from [Mads] Mikkelsen.
It is a movie about the rush to judgment and the tyranny of the majority. What happens to Lucas is utterly unfair, but it also makes for a cautionary tale as well.
Scarier than your average horror film
Of a piece with Arthur Miller's The Crucible and Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour, two other works about persecution and hypocrisy.
Mikkelsen (now freaking out Americans as the title character of NBC's "Hannibal") gives the persecuted Lucas a gravity and an intensity that make for compelling viewing.
The Hunt is like a low blow that keeps on swinging even when you're down and out. It is constantly putting your emotions in the crosshairs and seems to flourish the most whenever you feel your stomach drop from the hell that Lucas is put through.
Strong performances complement the smart and engrossing script and a slowly building tension that blossoms to a piano-string tautness.
A Gripping Look at an Epidemic of Fear.
The film clearly wants us to be uncomfortable about many things; it's not a stretch to imagine that the implications of the premise are among them.
The Hunt is far scarier than the most frightening zombie film.
Shows that even when Klara's parents and their friends aren't sure, they'd rather be wrong on the defensive than be wrong and do nothing.
Actor Mads Mikkelsen excels in this tense drama.
The cornerstone to The Hunt is the mesmerizing performance by Mikkelsen, whose portrayal of a Danish everyman's shattered descent into a horrifying nightmare is one of the most powerful performances I've seen in recent memory.
Mikkelsen makes you empathize with Lucas every step of the way and helps make The Hunt a real moral nail-biter.
