At Sundance, a Powerful Film About Abuse
The audience is not let off the hook when a middle-aged woman played by Trine Dyrholm has an affair with her 17-year old stepson in Queen of Hearts. Danish director May el-Toukhy makes the audience see exactly what this means in very explicit sex scenes, in which the woman, a lawyer representing young victims of abuse, becomes an abuser herself.
