This sets off a small-town witch hunt that stirred up emotions in me, mostly disdain for the fellow teachers and principal who so easily &#8220;gang up&#8221; on the teacher, seemingly unable to believe he may be innocent.<\/p>\n<p>The principal blurts out &#8220;children never lie&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Um, yes they do!<\/p>\n<p>I love how the film goes deeper than the obvious content. The accused son is featured. The student is the accused best friend\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n<p>When one supporter of the accused rips into the five-year-old it is intense to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The Hunt (2012) is a layered, multi-faceted film worth seeing.<\/p>\n<p>The ending is great, but the alternate ending is even better and I wish the director, Thomas Vinterberg, would have used that instead, but overall an exceptional film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oscar Nominations:<\/strong> Best Foreign Language Film<\/p>\n<p><strong>Independent Spirit Award Nominations:\u00a0<\/strong>Best International Film<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hunt-2012 Director Thomas Vinterberg Starring Mads Mikkelsen Scott&#8217;s Review #29 Reviewed June 17, 2014 Grade: A- Nominated for the 2013 Best Foreign Language Oscar, this controversial Danish film called The Hunt (2012) centering on the subject of pedophilia is powerful and gripping.
