This Danish potboiler is organized around a few nimbly executed plot twists, and like many similarly designed thrillers, it leaves the audience with little to think about once all the surprises have been revealed.

The Guilty is a clever Danish thriller that takes full advantage of the strengths and weaknesses of modern communications.

Despite its self-imposed limitations, the skilfully made The Guilty excels as a compelling and tense evening in the cinema.

Playing out in ‘real’ time, the film feels refreshing and unpredictable. We almost forget that this is a film, and not real life unfolding before our very eyes. Please remember, that this is just a film and don’t forget to breathe.
