In a Better World 2010

In a Better World (2010)    Anton is a doctor who lives in Denmark but works at an African refugee camp.  He is struggling with a possible divorce and he has two boys, Elias is 10 with year with a younger brother.  Claus has recently lost his wife to cancer, he and his son Christian move from London to Denmark.  Elias and Christian become friends but they begin to make dangerous choices.
    This movie feels like it has too many issues on the table at a time.  Many problems in Denmark and then other problems in Africa.  It seems to dilute the importance of each by tying to tell too many stories.  3* (This movie is OK)

113 min, Drama by Susanne Bier with Mikael Perbrandt, Trine Dyrholm, Ulrich Thomsne, Markus Rygaard, William Johnk Nielsen, Bodil Jorgensen.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.7 out of 10, 78% critic 86% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
