Queen of Hearts (2019)
(Dronningen)
Country: DK/SV
Technical: col/2.35:1 127m
Director: May el-Toukhy
Cast: Trine Dyrholm, Gustav Lindh, Magnus Krepper
Synopsis:
A professional Danish couple's neatly ordered life with their twin daughters is disrupted by the arrival of his son from a first marriage. The teenager's challenging behaviour is first accommodated by the stepmother, an expert in juvenile law, but she then takes more drastic steps, consciously or not, to preserve the status quo.
Review:
A drip-drip descent into a nightmare without escape, this queasy domestic drama is anchored around Dyrholm's portrayal of a truly human monster, her act of wanton destruction as comprehensive in its fallout as it is irreconcilable with her profession. There are many kinds of kindness in this world, the director would seem to be saying.
