Der Kommer En Dag (2016)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Der Kommer En Dag is set in a Denmark when women didn’t earn as much as men for the same job and when children from a certain segment of society were considered riffraff, fit only for being groomed into the working class.

Brothers, Erik and Elmer, with a track record of petty offences are shunted into a state-run home when their mother falls sick. Typical of how such institutions are often depicted in cinema, the master is a cruel disciplinarian who chooses to ignore the sexual abuse his tyranny fosters. Except here, this film is true and based on the abuse that occurred in Danish state homes for over three decades, up until the ’70s. The uncovered details were so bad that the Danish PM publicly apologized in 2019 to surviving victims.

Yes…. Really good powerful drama. And once again the kids stole the show…. A bit like in 10 1/2

Excellent thought provoking stuff.
And uplifting at the end … Which is a pleasant change …

Thank you very much for this one, you adorable EUM people. I just want to cuddle you all! ((no homo)) Great movie, great cast. Exceptional acting… All-in-all, this is a really fine film. My one complaint, and seriously, what kind of a review would it be without at least one complaint… my one complaint was not seeing the boys attack, dismember and eviscerate the principal and his cohorts. Especially the one-handed, eraser-head-looking, pedo ass-bandit. We really needed a scene where a squad of angry 12 and 13 year-old insurrectionists are playing dodge ball with his brain. Just a quick little scene cause brains don’t hold up very well upon impact. But still, it should have happened. And if you disagree with me you’re worse than Hitler, a racist, and you probably smell like cabbage.

Many times I wonder if people these days realize how common abuse was in all aspects of childhood. Unfortunatly, there was some familiar themes that went on when I was in school in the 1970’s. Not as extreme, but always in the system as a constant threat if you step out of line. Pretty good movie, and an important story to tell.

Excellent movie, typical of Danish cinema. Tragic story (along the lines of “The Magdalene Sisters”) and an indictment of the system which allows such things to happen. Beautifully acted, the kids are brilliant. Thanks for posting EUM!

So now you rape a few kids and beat 1 or 2 to death and you’re the bad guy? Ungrateful
