"Helene, caught like Jacob between lives, spends much of the film trying to explicate choices that now look only wrong."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

4/5
"A deeply intimate tale of regret and hope, with characters that will linger in your thoughts."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

2.5/4

3/5
"A substantive film about an idealistic Danish aid worker who is forced to stretch his own capacities for love and compassion, directing them in new channels that surprise and challenge him."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

A-
"...star Mads Mikkelsen is becoming internationally known and while he delivers another fine performance here it is Rolf Lassgård who proves the revelation as the billionaire with a huge hidden agenda."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

A-

4/5
"Uma obra de intensa carga emocional."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca
