Worlds Apart

A 17-year-old girl raised as a Jehovah's Witness falls secretly in love with a non-believer. Based on a true story — handled with far more nuance than the premise suggests, neither demonizing the community nor pretending the choice is simple. Oplev, who would go on to direct the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, shows here the careful, empathetic observational style that makes Danish social realism so trustworthy.
