Minor Mishaps proved that Danish realism does not have to continually abide by the Dogme manifesto, as does this unremitting tale of domestic dysfunction that's held together by an impressive display of seething frustration from Paprika Steen. Unhappily married and estranged from her gay brother, she seeks to reassure herself she's not turning into her late unlamented mother by offering sanctuary to her terminally ill father. But Ole Ernst's turn for the better only adds to her woes. Jesper W Nielsen's wry direction owes much to Mike Leigh, but while his observations are as acute, he's much more forgiving of his characters' shortcomings.
