In a Better World
horizontal line

After moving to Denmark from London with his widowed, grieving father (Ulrich Thomsen) upon the death of his mother from cancer in this poignant, gut-wrenching, well-acted, realistic, Golden-Globe-winning, 2010 film, a troubled, angry, knife-wielding student (William Jøhnk Nielsen) fiercely retaliates against a relentless school bully (Simon Maagaard Holm) and a mean-spirited, taunting auto mechanic (Kim Bodnia) and then develops a much-needed friendship and a tight bond with another bullied, distressed, withdrawn, 10-year-old (Markus Rygaard) who must cope with both the absence of his well-intentioned, hardworking father (Mikael Persbrandt) whose job as a doctor at a dangerous refugee camp in Africa takes him away from home for long stretches of time and the inevitable divorce looming on the horizon after his father cheated on his wife (Trine Dyrholm).
