Synopsis

Anton is a doctor who commutes between his home in an idyllic town in Denmark and his work at an African refugee camp. In these two very different worlds, he and his family face conflicts that lead them to difficult choices between revenge and forgiveness. Anton and his wife Marianne, who have two young sons, are separated and struggling with the possibility of divorce.

Their older, 10-year-old Elias, is being bullied at school, until he is defended by Christian, a new boy who has just moved from London with his father, Claus. Christian's mother recently lost her battle with cancer, and Christian is greatly troubled by her death. Elias and Christian quickly form a strong bond, but when Christian involves Elias in a dangerous act of revenge with potentially tragic consequences, their friendship is tested and lives are put in danger.

Ultimately, their parents help them come to terms with the complexity of human emotions, pain, and empathy.

The use of repetitive melodies in the film's soundtrack became distracting and monotonous, failing to create a dynamic and engaging auditory experience. It felt like the same themes were played over and over again, diminishing the impact of key moments in the plot.

The soundtrack of In a Better World failed to capture the emotional depth and complexity of the characters' struggles and conflicts. The music felt generic and uninspired, lacking the ability to enhance the storytelling and connect with the audience on a deeper level.

5/10

On the other hand, I felt that some of the musical choices in the soundtrack were a bit predictable and cliché, lacking originality and failing to fully immerse me in the emotional journey of the characters. While the music effectively underscored key moments in the film, I found myself wishing for a more innovative and unique approach to the score that would have elevated the overall viewing experience.
