This is a truly exceptional film. A man wakes up bloodied on the floor and it is only as he goes about his day like any other that we ultimately find out what has happened. Like many Nordic films, and unlike many American ones, it also has nuance. Not everything is spelled out for the viewer, but if you pay attention you can be pretty sure of what happens. The other great thing is the acting: it is all about that guy on the floor, and he runs through a swath of emotions during the day. The ending, also, is just so perfect and so simple and so quiet. Just: wow. 10/10
