Beginnings is painful, realistic, and hopeful thanks to the brilliant Danish cast.” (DE STANDAARD)“De Deense top actress Trine Dyrholm is fantastic as the half-paralyzed mother who successively loses herself in toxic cruelty, cautious acceptance, and renewed hope.” (HUMO)“Beginnings can painfully grate and offers points of light.” (DE VOLKSKRANT)“Sometimes cinema is at its best when one face carries a whole world. In Beginnings that face is unmistakably that of Trine Dyrholm.” (CINEMAGAZINE)
