Persona Non Grata

2021 · 91 min Comedy Drama
6.4 / 10 · TMDB

The film is a comedy drama about a young woman, Laura, who has distanced herself from her family in the country to settle in Copenhagen as an author and live the artistic bohemian life she has always dreamed of. When she, with much reluctance, goes back home for her brother’s wedding, she realises that he is about to marry her childhood enemy, Catrine. At the same time, Laura finds out that Catrine has in fact taken over her place in the family – and what if Laura wants it back … A film about how we, no matter how hard we try, cannot escape from our past, nor from our roots.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the sharp contrast between urban independence and rural expectations, using comedic setups to explore a deeper familial tension. It relies on irony and recognizable archetypes to delve into the perennial struggle between forging a new identity and being pulled back by one's origins.

What lingers after the credits is a bittersweet aftertaste and a quiet reflection on what we truly leave behind when we try to outrun our past. — MovieFinder Editorial
