Wildland DVD: Danish Crime Family Drama

Crime Family Drama from Denmark

Wildland is filled with intense drama, complicated family issues, crime and thrills, so it will keep you engaged from start to finish.

I love coming of age stories, but am not always a fan about mafia and family crime movies.

While I find them interesting, I don’t like it when the crime is glorified.

Wildland doesn’t do that.

The movie presents the family crime as it is.

We can see how awful the crime is, but how strong and good the family bonds can be.

This, of course, presents an awful dilemma and difficult choices for the teenage niece who is suddenly a part of her extended family.

This film is in Danish and has English subtitles.

The words are important, of course, but much of the story is told through the intense visuals throughout the movie.

Wildland is not rated in the US, but other countries that have rated it recommend the film for older teens and adults.

I’m in agreement with them.

I loved the movie, but it is intense, violent and has themes that are not suitable for young children.

Following a car accident, which kills her mother, 17-year old Ida moves in with her estranged aunt and her aunt’s grown sons.

The home is filled with physical tenderness and love, but outside of the home, the family leads a violent and criminal life.

When an unforeseen murder pressures the family and their loyalty to each other, tension builds as love and violence become impossible to separate.

Ida is faced with the same question her mother faced before her.

What are you willing to sacrifice for your family?
