Everything about this film should feel insufferable to me and yet Thomas Vinterberg managed to make me connect to and root for 4 men in their 40s/50s going through a midlife crisis and acting like reckless teenagers. I think that says enough about the good work that is done here.
It’s a fun, sensible, serious, introspective and ultimately fundamental exploration of the boredom and depression of a very non-spectacular and uneventful regular middle-class adult life and the never-ending longing for youth.
