As others have said, good plot with unexpected twists. Middle aged businessman with a baggage of some financial cheating falls for his young associate who demands that he chooses between her and his family. Pretty standard set-up, but what follows is far from what you expect. Murders, blackmail and dark secrets from the past . The script sometimes feels strectched, but hey, its a movie!, keeps it it interesting, makes you wonder hwat happens next!!

I think the surprise ending would be fine as it is IF the characters (or at least one of them) were a bit more likable.

Regardless, a worthwhile film to watch, keeps you guessing to the end!

Loving Adults based on a novel, is a crime cliffhanger with unpredictable and fascinating story about love, jealousy and sacrifice. Its all about suspense and dark twists in order to keep a failed marriage intact.

I won't say much more, other that it is worth a watch. The leading actress is amazing, she really is the start of the movie.

The production values are good. The cinematography is cold and beautiful as you can expect from the Scandinavian industry.

In general, Loving Adults is quite an entertaining thriller with enough twists and turns to keep the viewers in their seats. The ending feels a bit weak in comparison with the climax

Of course it has its flaws but overall is worth a watch!

This is a crime drama movie based on a book of the same Danish name (English: Till Death Do Us Apart, I think)

Very short runtime @ 1hr44m, watch this if you're in the mood for something different. I can name a similar 2014 crime/mystery thriller that you'd have watched, but if I name it to convince you to watch it, it might give the plot away.

The story revolves around a couple who, seemingly, have the perfect life until trust, morals, fidelity, etc. Are questioned. While it's not mindblowing, it's surely worth a one-time watch and there will be a couple diversions that you may not see coming.

Great cinematography (oooo, this movie looks amazing!) and sound design add to the value. Scores are underrating the film, so ignore them, and give it a shot.

For this being the first danish netflix original, I have to say it was pretty good. Interesting twists and turns mixed with a good cast. As the way that netflix movies have been going, as well as some of the shows not all of them have been that great recently. But I feel this film is a step in the right direction. It may take a while to start and be a little boring before it gets started. But once it does its a good watch with some suspenseful moments and some that even could leave your jaw a little open. Overall a pretty decent netflix original and I look forword to seeing more like this in the future.

A middle-age man has to choose between his wife and his mistress and he gets in to way more trouble than just that, along the way.

This is an awesome Danish thriller (dubbed believably in English) with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. You think you know which direction the film is headed in, but trust me, you absolutely don't. Watch it if you like Hitchcock-type thrillers. The leads are great and the ending was perfect and unexpected in my opinion.

I hope Netflix can give us more of these types of films in the future as I thoroughly enjoyed this one and found it to be fast-paced and fun.

This Danish crime drama is told in flashback as a policeman talks to his daughter about a case he was unable to solve but is convinced he knows what happened. A woman is knocked down and killed by a hit and run driver. We then see, a few days earlier, married couple Christian and Leonora having an argument; he doesn't want her to see a text message he received in the middle of the night... understandable given that it is from his lover. When she finds out he is ordered out of the house and told that she intends to report a financial crime he committed some time before. He determines to kill her.

I really enjoyed this film. It provides plenty of twists and turns and for much of the time I was unsure whether we are being shown what actually happened or merely the policeman's theory; this added to the intrigue for me. Right up until the end credits began I had no real idea how it would end. There is a good sense of danger and some, but not an excessive, amount of violence. The cast is impressive; most obviously Dar Salim and Sonja Richter as Christian and Leonora respectively. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of psychological dramas.

These comments are based on watching the film in Danish with English subtitles.

This is a good drama/romance/thriller, in the same vein of UNFAITHFUL (2002), FATAL ATTRACTION (1987), A PERFECT MURDER (1998) etc. Actors are not so charismatic/attractive like Gere/Lane, Douglas/Paltrow etc, however they did a very goood job: Acting is one of the strongest aspects of this movie. They are 100% convincing. So is the plot. Everything that happened here is realistic, except for the final 20-ish minutes. Those minutes are the reason i don't rate it even higher, because some events were kinda far-fetched.

Still, this was not a bad ending. Just not as good as the rest of he movie. Overall, it was an exciting and intense movie with characters you can empathize with them, up to a point at least. As a viewer, i felt their hate, love, despair, passion, hope and hopelessness.

It seems to me that Danish cinema is thriving nowadays. Congratulations Denmark.

The first act is weak but then the real mystery starts and the twists are interesting, so you keep watching and invested to know how it will end.

Not an artistic marvellous, but better to pass your time than some of the self-indulgences farts some people try to sell you.

PS: WTF Danish police? Can't you see the petrol station cameras? Doesn't the SPA has any cameras? No traffic cameras? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

In CRIMES, poor Martin Landau falls into the clutches of a determined & hangry mistress (Anjelica Huston), who threatens to blow the whistle to his family, and also to report a financial indiscretion he committed, if he does not dump his family for her. In LOVING ADULTS, our protagonist, Christian (also a well-to-do professional) is in a similar bind: his pretty mistress, Xenia, also wants to wrench him away from his family, and she, too has knowledge of an indiscretion he has committed. The difference between the 2 plots? Christian is wacky about his mistress; Martin Landau is fed up with his & seeks desperate means to end his problem.

As we discover early in the film, Christian is not so squeamish about ending his 'female' problem, but he chooses a course contrary to Landau's: he decides his pretty & talented (but aging wife) must go. As the story unfolds, as narrated by a local detective, we wait to see if the police can catch the guilty man. CRIMES ended with a very sardonic outcome, free of guilt and discovery. I can't tell you if that happens here, since I am only 40 minutes in, but I think I am going to like it. Oh: A couple of sensual scenes might need fast-forwarding.

Great movie... really great!!!

One thing i hate is that in the movie THEY ARE SAYING A WHITE VAN WITH ROMANIAN NUMBER PLATE!!!!!!

DANENARK IS 2000 miles from us... why are they doing this remark's like this????

This is really upsetting for me to watch this and to see that they are doing remarks like this... Why they can they say this.. this is not the first time we see remarks like this. This is absolutely discusting for me to see this.

I think the producers are like: a... what country should we pick... oooo ... i know ... romania........

I don't like to complain but this was really upsetting.

The rest of the movie was great honestly.

I read all these reviews and kept waiting for this movie to become good, and deliver on those "twists" and whatever, but the entire movie was completely nonsensical, with terrible acting, terrible characters and a rehashed plot (BBC's Dr. Foster was much better). I soon realized that those people giving 9 stars must be trolling everyone. The husband character just had a perpetual look of "I forgot my lines" or "Am I on the right set??" ; there were no redeemable/likable women characters in this; the woman he's having an affair with is just as shrillish a troll as the wife; and even her "best friend" totally sells her out. The story being told by a cop to his daughter added nothing to the storyline, and then when you find out where they are and why he's telling the story...I mean, ok, so while that was unexpected, who really gives a crap and that did not add any value to the storyline. There was definitely no suspense at all; the cops were duuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb, and the dubbing was awful. Anyway, please save yourself 2 hours and do not watch this.

I've loved every single Scandinavian film I've ever watched and this one from Denmark is no exception.

It has a suspenseful build up, a shock midway through and lots of twists and turns to keep the audience interested.

The psychology element is not missing so this movie definitely falls into the category of Psychological Thriller, my favorite genre.

Was pleased also to see that Netflix finally decided to depart from its heavy boatload of men's action thrillers and cartoons. There's so much good stuff out there and Netflix always manages to miss out on it all because of its biased insistence on pleasing the males in the audience.

It's like the screenwriter just fell asleep, got drunk, or just decided to assume the viewers would be just as stupid as the characters are start to finish in this weak attempt at what could have been a much better movie without the totally illogical and idiotic conclusion. I won't say more, in case somebody actually just wants to waste a little under two hours of their life on a faux dramatic ending that makes you want to shoot the router so this can never happen to you again. Either that, or Danish police make the Keystone Cops look like geniuses.

Also, it doesn't help that the overdubbing into English is done by people that clearly are working without the benefit of actually seeing the film. Never heard such flat, emotionless 'voice acting' before.

Crime story by a Police Father as unsolved case and his mounting suspicions with many twists - turns though known human weaknesses and wises explored. Couple if remain to get her in even bilateral crime experience give lot of loopholes in investigations. Morally we may not agree any thing that favors crime but loop holes the mind set finds is amazing. This film is amongst top 50 thrillers Netflix gave us and people liked. Gore,Sex, Betrayal, family bonds, son sick, sabotage all explored with superbly carved out direction editing screen play music all ingredients justified. Commenting on end result may dilute the suspense thrill but Modern Juris Prudence is almost impossible to overcome.
