She’s capable of anything, while he is as inept as the detective-narrators on the case. The only competent one is the police dog, but unfortunately, he wasn’t enrolled in a swimming course. Variations on Chabrol’s themes of infidelity have been done with Gere and Affleck, so why not this Danish take, which struggles to translate the strengths of the written word into film language. It’s often illogical, sometimes unintentionally funny (like the wife hiding in the bushes at the cliff), but it does not shy away from the cynicism of faltering relationships—no doubt about that.

Netflix surprised with a decent Danish thriller about infidelity. The film starts out as a classic drama/thriller about a married couple where everything seems to be going fine until the wife starts suspecting the husband of infidelity, and of course the husband does have a mistress. I like the fact that it doesn't behave like a classic infidelity thriller, but unravels a much bigger and more interesting mystery that makes the film appropriately quite unpredictable. It's interesting what direction the film eventually starts to take, and the outright first twist manages to properly shock (and the ones that follow are very good as well). You can say that the atmosphere and suspense works too; there is a little crime investigation and a pretty intelligent decision by the wife. Thanks to a playful script, decent actors and a fine atmosphere, this is an honest genre film that shouldn't offend anyone, on the contrary it can please most. Despite the slower pace, I enjoyed it very much. 7/10.

What should I tell you? I enjoyed it a lot. The movie started off all standard with the whole marital triangle thing, but as the story unfolded, it took a sharp turn into something totally unexpected. The creators led me through the shady corners of married and love life. Even though it wasn't your typical gritty thriller, some seriously chilling moments were sprinkled in. What got me was how unpredictable the plot turned out to be. Sure, I could catch the rough outlines, but the creators played with the details in a pretty slick way. And let me tell you, the way the story unfolded, who told it to whom, and the whole backdrop—it had me highly amused. Long story short, the movie kept me entertained and hit the right notes for my taste and mood.

I'm not entirely happy with the overabundance of unnatural drama in some scenes and I didn't find the ending very believable, but I certainly wasn't bored and the story completely sucked me in. The atmosphere as well.
