Trine Dyrholm Crashes a Party in Mads Mengel’s ‘The Guest,’ Proving She’s ‘Simply One of Denmark’s Greatest Actors’

Don’t be fooled by that angelic smile. Trine Dyrholm is ready to wreak havoc in “The Guest.”

In Mads Mengel’s drama – premiering at Karlovy Vary Film Festival – new father Karl (Simon Bennebjerg) is preparing for his child’s christening. Everything goes according to plan – until Karl finds out his mother, Vibeke (Dyrholm), will be attending as well.

Sold by LevelK, it’s produced by Monolit Film.

“When she arrives, you wonder: ‘Why didn’t he invite her?!’ She’s good company and doesn’t give a fuck about what other people think,” Trine Dyrholm tells Variety.

But there’s more to Vibeke, and her children are bracing themselves for the worst.
