'Another Round' reminds us not to ignore our youthful dreams and encourages us to soar. A supremely charming effort by Thomas Vinterberg, I weep for the inevitable American remake that reunites the cast of 'Old School' or 'Tag' or something. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-another-round-what-a-beautiful-beautiful-ride

Al principio casi parece que la teoría tiene sentido. Martin se suelta, conecta más con los alumnos, recupera energía y deja de parecer un hombre derrotado antes de tiempo. Ahí está la trampa: si algo te hace sentir mejor de inmediato, es fácil confundir alivio con solución. La película es inteligente po
