  Have wanted to check this out for months after seeing that still of Mads circulating around film Twitter. After already loving pretty much everything about it, the final 5 minutes left me on probably my favorite ending of the year. Ahh! The backbone of this is the chemistry between these four men, who all have unique stories relating to alcohol that feel fully fleshed out by the end. Mads delivers, without a doubt, my favorite performance of the year. As of now! And the use of music throughout is working perfectly.

  I haven't seen alcoholism portrayed like this before in a film. It's Very honest and not in an overly sappy way. It does a fantastic job of highlighting the seduction associated with drinking and not shying away from really showing how great that feeling is. A bit predictable, but I can't complain too hard. This is insanely great.

  Sorry this review is a little sloppy, I'm just excited.

  i feel like i've seen several versions of this film– the wish fulfillment/monkey's paw story as applied to average men whose averageness is their great crutch– but never so grounded, and never like this where it refuses the clean and obvious resolution you're expecting. i have mixed feelings about that, but damn if those final minutes aren't so delightful that you can't help but not care. nice to finally get to see mads as joyous and fun and charismatic on film as he is in the press! i can't imagine anyone watching this movie and leaving without a crush on him. not really the point of the movie, but it might as well be!

  The human body is born with a 0.05% Mads Mikkelsen deficiency. I recommend watching Mads dance several times a day. No Mads after 8 pm, and none on the weekends.

  If What A Life isn't stuck in your head you didn't watch the movie, I don’t make the rules.
