Die Ratlosigkeit und Unsicherheit, mit der Teenager durchs Leben schlittern, ist in @Denmark@ gut nachvollziehbar. Mit wenig Dialog und vielen Nahaufnahmen hat das Publikum Zeit, die Mimik zu lesen und selbst nachzudenken. Auch wenn der Stil etwas eigenwillig ist, hat mich dieser Film sehr angesprochen. In fast allen Charakteren konnte ich Personen aus meinem eigenen Freundeskreis wieder erkennen.§ Mir persönlich hat dieser Film gut gefallen, weil er so lebensnah wirkt und die Geschichte dennoch einen absurden Touch hat. Die ruhige Erzählweise finde ich in Zeiten wie diesen sehr mutig. (Milan Wegscheider, YAAAS! Young Programmer 2019)
Norge and his friends live in the moment: drinking, smoking and partying. When 16-year-old Josephine tells Norge that she is pregnant, there is only a brief moment of silence. As they grow closer, the two start to develop feelings which challenge their views of life and of themselves – although "love" is not necessarily a word they would use. The camera attentively registers gestures and glances, observing what the two bodies and faces are saying or not saying to each other. With respectful proximity, Kasper Rune Larsen's debut film paints a realistic portrait of young people and the complex multiplicity of their realities. (Berlinale)
