Den Skaldede Frisør [Love is All You Need] (2012)

A romantic comedy with a decidedly non-American bent. Trine Dyrholm is charming as cancer survivor Ida, whose oafish husband has been cheating on her. When she meets Pierce Brosnan as the father of the boy her daughter is marrying, the two have an instant chemistry that makes the audience smile. A nice script by Anders Thomas Jensen and sure-handed direction by Susanne Bier make this a film a delight.
