We saw The Hunt (or Jagten, its official title) on Monday at our local Film Club and it was the film that we were both looking forward to the most out of all the Film Club listings. After watching it, I have to say it has become one of my favourite films of all time. It was beautiful, yet so sad and made me so angry in parts and wanting to cry in others.

The story follows Lucas who works at a local Kindergarten. He gets accused of sexually abusing a child, which turns into many more accusations from the other parents. I wont go too much into the plot as I don't wish to spoil it, but you have to make a decision of believing a cute, seemingly innocent little girl or a kind man, who has a teenage son. We watch as Lucas' world get ripped apart right in front of him and it made me so angry that I was sat there in the cinema completely helpless. I know that sounds very dramatic but it literally was like that. I saw the sea of old pensioners shaking their heads in disbelief at some points, it was just so unbelievable and so scary to think that this could so easily happen in our society today. Every single actor was more than superb and I simply can not fault this film whatsoever.
Overall rating 10/10
