Män & höns

Mænd & høns

Overrun with barnyard animals, the hellhole (...) provides the atmospheric setting for what should be a horror story, but turns out to be a cosy domestic saga celebrating life in all its forms.

...a darkly comic dysfunctional family drama ...

Audience members looking for a character to relate to or like may have a rough time. But nobody is likable in farce or absurdist black comedy...

One of the film's chief pleasures, though, is the fashion with which it unexpectedly expands in the second act, from a duet between Gabriel and Elias to a group comedy.
