5 / 6
Translated from swedish: While "The Celebration"'s incestuous theme may not be all that unexpected, the actual approach—which falls somewhere between breathtakingly beautiful and gut-punch territory—is all the more explosive and absolutely vital.

1. Moviezine
Translated from swedish: Thomas Vinterberg's "The Celebration" is a cinematic masterpiece that brilliantly capitalizes on handheld camera work and lack of lighting, but most importantly creates both a powerful and gripping drama with deeply developed characters and a devastating, absurd humor.
