Take one part deftly directed tragicomedy, add a dash of Mads Mikkelsen in vintage form, and you’ve got Another Round — an intoxicating look at midlife crises
Another Round is a film that will make you want to grab a drink with your friends, but also make you question your relationship with alcohol. Mads Mikkelsen’s performance is captivating, and the film’s exploration of midlife crisis is both tragic and comedic. It’s a thought-provoking movie that will leave you with a lot to ponder, but also make you want to dance like no one’s watching (just like Mikkelsen). Cheers to Another Round!

The last shot of this film [is] as indelible as any you’ll find…

TOP CRITIC
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.

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

Kermode & Mayo’s Film Review
TOP CRITIC
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.

Irish Times
TOP CRITIC
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.

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Another Round is made irresistible by Mikkelsen: such a noble face, such a wonderful presence even when most withdrawn, battered and saddened.

TOP CRITIC
Even if the plot of Another Round feels a bit unsurprising, it is consistently engaging thanks to the performances of the four leads.

(…) Thus, beyond the authenticity in Mikkelsen’s performance, one always feels the thin and malevolent threads of Vintenberg, that sly smile of an old testament’s God who subjects his children to various challenges.

Agustín Acevedo Kanopa
La Diaria
Director Thomas Vinterberg digs much deeper than the initial premise. In some ways, drinking is a very small part of this story, as we follow men in the tragicomic throes of midlife crisis.

Another Round works best as an experience to feel rather than an experience to analyse or really think about under a critical lens.

Clapper
Another Round invites us to criticize and self-criticism. Which is no small thing in a world of irresponsible critics. [Full review in Spanish]

Hugo Hernández Valdivia
Cinexcepción
A provocative take on Danish drinking culture that asks a bold question and offers a mixed and surprising response, topped off with Mikkelsen’s exuberant dance of freedom
