Not your usual 'revenge' film
dan-bgb23 April 2021
Jens is a 40-something, hard-working overweight man who works as bakery employee in a small bakery shop. His life is monotonous and routine. We follow him as he wakes up, through his morning routine, to work, and back home again to start it all over. He deals with life's annoyances: rude people hurling insults, an unappreciative boss, minor pranksters, female rejection...One day, something breaks his routine as he is the victim of a petty crime...and decides to take action. More than a 'revenge' film, 'Bakerman' is an understated gem of a story that could be about any decent, past-their-prime anti-hero...we don't get much character development or backstory...it's mostly told by a few photos representing Jen's youth...but it's enough. Mikkel Vadsholt's performance as a man who's basically resigned himself to his bland existence...until he doesn't...is superb. Throw in a damaged waif in Siir Tilif's character who is rescued by Jens...who may wind up saving Jens...and you've got a cathartic tale of redemption through pain.

Szanalmasan rossz:(
andras-ocskay19 April 2022
Atyavikag de unalmas volt es a film:(

Szerettem regen a Szoke filmeket, de ez remesen rossz.

A falusi elet degradalasa, idegesito pesti szereplokkel rtl klub akcentussal.

Lehetne par jelenet vicces is de nem sikerult osszehozni.

Eroltetett, elcsepelt, szetesett, szetszort az egesz.

Ez a film nem sikerult.
