"The acting on all fronts is outstanding, with Mikkelsen holding the centre magnificently as the wronged teacher, his life contaminated by the slow-acting poison of rumour." Anthony Quinn The Independent<\/i>\n <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From the director of Festen<\/i>, Lucas (Mads Mikkelsen) is a primary school teacher whose world is turned upside-down when he is accused of child abuse in a small Danish town. A few words from the child, Klara, shatter the seemingly strong masculine bonds between him and his friends. But Lucas is defiant and even strengthened as he faces this onslaught.\n <\/p>\n

\n
"The Hunt is a terrifying film, anchored by Mikkelsen's poignantly poised turn and saturated with uncomfortable truths about society, childhood and our susceptibility to mass hysteria." Emma Dibdin Digital Spy<\/i>\n <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
