Aided by an outstanding cast, this is the kind of bitter-sweet drama that the Danes do so well. The film centres around a group of friends all either in love, out of love or looking for love; it’s told over three years and through eight different chapters, each of them set around a party: a New Year’s Eve, a house warming, a Midsummer’s Eve, a wedding, a surprise party, a naming ceremony, an anniversary and a birthday. Director May el-Toukhy has delivered a really clever, funny picture, full of warmth, quiet power and perhaps, most importantly a set of characters that you get to know and really care about.
