The Last Viking

I am seriously not sure if Anders Thomas Jensen (writer and instructor) has been substituted with an AI language model recently! To me this movie is a boil-up of many of the previous movies written and instructed by ATJ (many of which I love!). This movie is far too violent for me and the plot even more wacky than "Mænd og høns" or "Adams æbler". Come to think of it, what has really carried the weight of many of the best movies by ATJ is Ole Thestrup, who has sadly passed away some years ago. I had high expectations (which is always dangerous) prior to watching this movie, but I really don't find it particularly good.

This is an absolute gem of a movie!!

It was so funny that tears streamed down my face! It is sarcastic, brutal, touching and absolutely crazy. The characters are so well performed and it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The whole cinema was roaring with laughter and the 2 hours were gone with the blink of an eye.

Just watch it!!

Danish dark comedy can be quite grotesque. If you're not familiar with, or a fan of Anders Thomas Jensen's other work, there's a good chance that you're going to find this movie unpleasantly bizarre.

If you are a fan of Anders Thomas Jensen, however, I am pleased to tell you that this is one of his best movies yet.

With open arms and singing and all that is necessary. So no pun intended - the movie is from Denmark and it is able to mix comedy and violence quite ... well I would argue perfectly. I understand if for some (more sensible and sensitive souls) this feels wrong ... especially considering that the movie does not take any prisoners (though it does literally in one case with one individual and she is treated quite harshly to say the least).

The main character (next to Mads Mikkelsen) is ... quite annoying ... especially his insistence on not giving in and just accepting his brother ... but this also leads to a lot of comedic moments. Again you have to suspend your disbelief and just allow them to make "mistakes".

The movie is inventive enough to be enjoyable ... there may be some lines crossed .. actually not just maybe ... they are crossed! Be aware and don't be offended .. or rather do not watch if you know you can't deal with this being as dark humored as possible ... that makes it different ... and unique (and I would argue good, but that is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?).

Great performances, great twists and dialog ... and just as mad(s) as it can get ...

Den Sidste Viking Is the story about family, and how a man want he weird brother, to tell him where he hidden the loot.

Anders Thomas Jensen Knows, what story he wants to tell, and he is very good at it at this point.

Story about people who are outsiders of society, and people with diagnoses who doesn't fit in to normal Society. And does it with black comedy and heartfelt moments.

The movie was for me very funny, but it just hit the perfect tone shifting ability, so it never felt jarring.

The actors to a great job, and especially Mads Mikkelsen who plays, a neurodivergent person very well and with humanity.

The story is great and a lot of fun. There's only one twist that put a little bad taste in my mouth, but the movie is still good.

I left the movie theater with a lot of facts, about IKEA and the Holocaust. It a great time would recommend.
