The Hunt Audience Reviews

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
blaheta7-459-439958 This movie contains very difficult subject matter that instills feelings of gut wrenching injustice from mob mentality; the human tendency to rush to judgement and condemnation especially when peers/community comes to conclusions based upon intense emotion. This is far from a feel good movie. Plot, casting, performance, and direction are near perfect. Expect to be thinking about this film days after viewing.
brodieburlhoffman I'm totally baffled by how high the reviews are for this movie!!! I just don't get it. An INNOCENT man is accused of sexually abusing kids, yet he IS NEVER FULLY VINDICATED! In fact, the movie ends with someone trying to kill the innocent man.Understand this next point very clearly, please:*There is a huge difference between creating a story to make a totally legitimate point; and, creating a story that is entertaining and enjoyable to watch! That sums up this film...Yes, the story shows how devastating false accusations can be; and, how, even when the person is totally innocent, people will ALWAYS think they are guilty. This movie absolutely does a great job making that point. No, the story is NOT fun to watch, and the ending is TOTALLY DEPRESSING! After all that the protagonist has been through, in this story, he is NEVER fully given the "due" he so desperately deserves. In fact, so much so, that it ends with someone trying to blow his head off! To summarize exactly what I'm saying, let me just say this. I watch movies for the entertainment value. To me, a good movie is one that, at the end of it, you are satisfied with the outcome. NOT THIS MOVIE!!! It's like watching a movie about a gang of evil pillagers that proceed to pillage throughout the movie; yet, THERE IS NEVER A HERO TO STOP THEM!!!! Gee....thanks....BUT NO THANKS!!!! I don't need to see more injustice, when I'm looking to be entertained.
tdomenig It's not a new story that is told here, but it is told with impressive subtlety. A small town in Denmark, full of nice people in a perfect cliché community, and yet a small lie, taken back repeatedly over time, shatters the life of one of its members. There is not one person to blame for what happens, to point your finger at. Mainly, people just do what they think is their duty of protection. The oversteps are small and subtle at first, some prejudgment kicks in, things evolve inevitably. Later, of course, there are also those expressing themselves in what they think is justified violence. Isn't it all so obvious and realistic? Wouldn't we be part of it if were happening at our doorstep? This is one of those movies that make you think: it's what cinema is all about!
burakengin If you want to watch dram.It is really true movie..I like Markus and feel sorry for him.I take off this ''one lie can destroy life'' from movie.
