Brave New Love: Johansen and Lie Shine in Bäck's Marital Drama

In Maria Bäck's third feature, the marital drama 'Brave New Love, Kathrine Thorborg Johansen and Anders Danielsen Lie deliver fine performances. The film follows Copenhagen-based wife and mother Kate (Johansen), who confesses to her women's church group that she's been having a three-year affair with another man and doesn't much regret it. One participant responds, I would never fall in love if I was in a good relationship.

The unusual, open-minded drama suggests infidelity isn't necessarily the end of a marriage. Review by Variety.
