Danish director Thomas Vinterberg's film The Hunt (2012) starring Mads Mikkelsen is a compelling thriller. It was co-written by Tobias Lindholm whom I know from his writing for the excellent Danish political series Borgen. It takes a nightmare scenario and makes it feel realistic and the outcome is far from obvious even at the end of the film. Mikkelsen portrays a teacher who lives a lonely life, while fighting with his wife over his son's custody. His life slowly gets better as he finds love with a colleague and receives good news from his son. However, his new luck is shattered by a misunderstanding that turns his life upside down.
