Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Hunt (2013)

Pretty much the only thing I knew about this movie ahead of time was that Mads Mikkelsen is in it because I’ve been staring at his image & a predicted 5 Stars in Netflix’s “Top Picks for Susan” list for more than a year.

Beautiful acting by every single character -- including young kids -- in a very difficult story believably told. Divorced Lucas works in the kindergarten of the small town in which he’s lived since he was a boy. In a matter of days, his life as he knew it is changed. It was both infuriating and understandable -- so terrifying to watch.

Netflix was right. Five stars from me.

A+
