My instant pick to watch tagged as an underdog turned out to be a monster,A brilliant piece of cinema in every aspect... Be it a hour glass session, luxurious office space or an finest atmospheric conditions in climax one could crave for a perfect cinema elements.... Take a bow for Anders klarlund for keeping u strangled for nearly 1 1/2 hrs tight session with his twisty screenplay that makes u subliminally guilt and shrink u with a crystal clear screenplay... Signe Olsen and Anton duo strikes instantly with their weird and methodical performance...can't review for more coz this movie speaks a lot to connect u when u watch it making u to crave for more cinema to experience....

This little gem made me feel stupid, which is a good thing.

What starts off as a by-the-numbers thriller about a killer who visits a shrink to get some kind of closure, turns into something completely different by the end with a plot twist I didn't see coming, although there were several hints given throughout the first hour.

I am not going to spoil things here, but the build-up is just spot on. Cleverly written. We need more movies likes this.

Klienten positions itself as a psychological thriller, but ultimately fails to deliver on even its basic promises. The concept is unimaginative, the plot unfolds predictably, and the film seems content to recycle ideas from older, more successful thrillers-without adding any new perspective or depth.

Performances are flat and emotionally disengaged, which only amplifies the film's lack of tension. The script offers little character development, and the dialogue feels mechanical.

Director Anders Rønnow Klarlund shows flashes of competence, but not creativity. He remains stuck in the safe zone of "could have been great," never daring to take narrative or visual risks. The result is a film that lacks identity, avoiding both bold storytelling and stylistic flair.

The ending tries to echo genre classics, but instead lands as flat and uninspired-a pale imitation without substance.

I would have liked to give 7.5 It's a very good movie, extremely intense though.

Due to its intensity and twists, I can understand why some viewers rated it much lower.

It's heavy.

However, if you are in the mood for an extremely powerful psychological thriller, then this is a gem !

Important to state that if you are looking for an average thriller, then it's not for you.

This movie is very, very intense.

The ending is brilliant.

Casting is excellent !

Really brilliant actors.

Although some scenes are absolutely gruesome this movie's main focus is on the psychological confrontation between the two protagonists.

First 60-70 minutes were somewhat good, nothing great or memorable though. So was the twist. Unexpected but it still was a 6-ish/10 movie. Nothing impressive, from acting to directing etc.

And then, the movie took an interesting turn, it became not just watchable but recommendable. Most of the movies nowadays have mediocre or bad endings/final parts. The ending here is so good, it's touching, satisfying and almost mind blowing. The characters here are not ordinary people, the story is not the most plausible one, however the viewer is fully convinced about their motives, at least i did. In the end, everyone got what they deserved. Yes, the final twist is somewhat predictable but still, satisfying as hell. And the words of a person before, made me emotional.

A good psychological drama/thriller.
