The real question though ...did she actually perform the oral act on the young actor?

[pb.j.]

fantastic film! needs more attention! even though I think there are barely grey zones here. Anne is the aggressor, manipulator and perpetrator.

Looking forward to see the film. Good video interview.

just saw this movie. it's well done, intelligently written, with a huge twist. spoilers ahead: I just could not believe she threw him under the bus & said he was lying. that twist I did not see coming. She came onto HIM. he hadn't been chasing her & then she made him out to be a liar, wrecked Gustavs relationship w his father& half sisters. then his life. honestly, him dying was not a surprise to me. I saw it as a definite possibility. And SHE is responsible! Wow. this was well, shot & quite the plot. In her line of work, helping victims, and then instigated a sexual relationship with her stepson...THAT in itself wasn't so bad. But making him out to be a total liar-it really didn't jive with her entire line of work. I wound up wanting her to get a comeuppance of some sort. I wanted Lina to tell the husband or him to find that recording. I wasn't clear how the husband intuited that she'd lied & had engaged in the affair near the end. Unless the English translation had been off. Anyway, a very engaging movie. I got angry with her character & felt justice for Gustav was in order.

[Uuuuc]

No black or white?? For me she was fully and truly black.

[Whoa]

Who else gets Danish Glenn Close vibes from her?

[l.a]

The movie would have been even better if there were more sex scenes
Anyway, the film left a deep mark on me.

Make another movie similar to that... But with mor sex scene
