- Synopsis:
- Armed only with a bow and an ensemble of animal skins, Martin (Rasmus Bjerg) sets off into the forest in a misguided attempt to overcome his midlife crisis. A chance meeting with a fugitive named Musa (Zaki Youssef) leads to a twisted trip through the fjords with police, drug runners, and Martin's family not far behind. As an unlikely friendship develops and wildly original set-pieces unfold, Martin's quest for manhood leads to deep and hilariously uncomfortable realizations about the presumed masculine ideal.

Hilarious Nordic Crime Comedy Satire with Something to Say - and Vikings! I loved it! - Wild Men review by PV
I had no idea what to expect with this film. The very woke Radio Times gave it 2 stars out of 5. It often gives utter dross five stars though, basically anything with a pc/metoo/woke agenda with a majority female cast,. Maybe that was its issue here - almost all the cast is male.
It is rare for a modern movie to make me laugh out loud - this film managed it, 2 or 3 times. Such clever satire on the misery of marriage and the tedium of modern life.
OK so it's a bit far-fetched and maybe not entirely believable esp the ending. BUT, as I said, it is clever, funny and warm - a really enjoyable film with something to say.
4.5 stars rounded up. JUST GREAT - fine writing, direction and acting.
