Some viewers may long for a more outright condemnatory or celebratory narrative, but if Another Round opens with Kierkegaard, ultimately it ends up espousing the beautiful ambivalence of a different philosopher... Homer Simpson. Go to Full Review
Chase Hutchinson Seattle Times Sep 6, 2025
A bittersweet existential dramedy that sees a magnificent Mads Mikkelsen lighting up the screen with one of the all-time great movie dance sequences, it’s a triumph as tactile as it is tragic. Go to Full Review

Another Round’s gentleness is what makes it a winning, highly enjoyable film, but it also compromises its emotional force. This film was a delight and its refusal to judge is intoxicating. Go to Full Review

5/5
Another Round is as fun and life-affirming as it is splendidly realised and crafted. Much like catching up with a great friend over pints in the pub, you can’t help but want more of it. Go to Full Review

Marco L @decatur555 22 hrs ago A very good, sad and vital film about alcohol, crisis and the temptation to use a substance as an emotional crutch. The experiment starts almost funny: four middle-aged teachers try to maintain a small level of alcohol in their blood to feel more alive, confident and connected. For a while it seems to work, especially for Martin, played magnificently by Mads Mikkelsen. But the film is smart because it does not moralize; it shows the slide. The "I’m in control" excuse slowly collapses as they drink more, justify exceptions and stop seeing their own mistakes. The students noticing Martin’s errors before he does felt painfully real. The film also avoids easy condemnation: alcohol brings energy, friendship and courage, but also damage and tragedy. The final dance is liberating without pretending everything is fixed. Honest, human and much more complex than it first appears.

See more Quinn R @qritz7 Oct 15, 2026 An interesting look at how much alcohol is crossing the line (or even if there is a line) and how it changes people - for the better and worse. Just didn’t care for it. (43%) See more Juris O @Juris100 Aug 30, 2026 A good, true-to-life movie. See more Tushar S @tushars0404 Aug 27, 2026 I went into Another Round expecting a comedy but what a surprisingly moving film! What starts as a funny experiment between four teachers slowly becomes a much deeper story about friendship, loneliness, aging and finding a reason to feel alive again.
