I am from Denmark and I have always loved Danish films, Mostly because off the intense drama and real life characters that seems like ordinary people with seriously mental issues just like this movie, Queen of hearts or also called Dronningen. Its about Anne, a woman with a great Swedish husband, two kids and working as a lawyer in a big company, it probably sounds like a good life right? No it isn't. Cause Anne have narcissistic trades that really comes to up to the ground when her husbands son August comes back to live with them for a while. Sexual tension with her new stepson sends Anne into a terrifying game off manipulation and deception that slowly recks her family apart. Right from the first scene this film just grabs your throat and never lets go. Its just so real you literally forgets that you are watching a movie, that what's happen when you just keeps things so damn realistic. No stupid action scenes or monsters just human beings facing terrifying emotional problems. Trine Dyrholm is why this film is almost a masterpiece, her narcissistic performance as Anne is what the hold thing together. I have to warn people about about the sexual scene in this film. They are very disturbing and so disgusting that people may just turn the TV off. Its just a film about a selfish person that you may also exist in the real world. If you like psychological drama from Denmark then don't mis this one.
