Alcohol can be a tricky subject – especially when the question of ‘how much is too much?’ arises. Four midlife crisis-bound teachers at a Danish high school (led by the ever-compelling Mads Mikkelsen) attempt to find the answer, as part of a supposedly-scientific quest to improve their lives. The four agree to consume a minimal amount of alcohol on a daily basis, and their results provide a story that’s at once darkly comedic and emotionally destructive. Director Thomas Vinterberg (The Hunt) helms this BAFTA and Oscar-winning drama with a steady hand, creating a thought-provoking tale with a show-stopping ending that’s undoubtedly one of the best of the year.
