Movie review: Another Round
2 minutes to read
Dominic Corry is an entertainment writer and film critic based in Los Angeles.@DominicCorry
Actor Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal) and filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg (Festen), Danish collaborators on the amazing 2012 film The Hunt, reteam for this alternately joyous and mordant movie about the alarming approach some friends employ to tackle
mid-life malaise.
Mikkelsen stars as Martin, one of four high school teachers lamenting the lack of lustre in their lives. When one cites a psychiatrist who theorised that humans are born with a blood alcohol content deficiency, they all agree to follow his teachings and proceed to microdose booze throughout the work day, maintaining a low level of intoxication in the name of loosening up and embracing life.
