Mads Mikkelsen stars as Lucas, a kindly daycare employee who is falsely accused of exposing himself to a child. His performance — which won Best Actor at 2012 Cannes Film Festival — is a nuanced portrait of a fundamentally decent man grappling with a world that has decided to treat him indecently. Thomas Vinterberg's film transposes the monstrous from the individual to the community who, in the guise of making evil "go away," risk committing it themselves.
