Reviews
90
One of the places where In a Better World is especially successful is comparing and contrasting the moral worlds of children and adults, showing how difficult but essential it is for each group to learn from the other.
83
A fine example of Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier's (Brothers) talent for weaving together accessible domestic melodrama and issues of ethical awareness of the world beyond our doorstep.
80
However didactic the film's final scenes, there's no denying the sheer dramatic intensity Bier achieves.
80
Boxoffice Magazine
An artistically mature work with pitch perfect performances.
75
An emotional powerhouse.
