Rose

Starring Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing and those jumpers!), Rose is the story of two sisters, Inger and Ellen, and how their relationship is challenged on a highly anticipated coach trip to Paris. When Inger (Gråbøl) announces to the group that she struggles with mental health, the sisters are faced with pity from some and discrimination from others. The highlight of the film is undoubtedly the incredible performance of Gråbøl, making Inger perfectly believable, her inconvenient limitations uncomfortably real and her situation both funny and tragic. It is a difficult and masterful piece of acting.

“Her (Gråbøl) performance is so full of depth – we see so many sides of Inger beyond her illness – and incredibly sensitive. The Paris landmarks are almost a secondary feature to the story which she delicately unravels.”

“This is a tender, sensitive and highly moving portrayal of living with mental illness – not just for the person with the diagnosis, but for those around them. You may have seen a Paris road trip movie before, but you’ve never seen one quite as brilliant as this.
