From Above

An artist must claw his way through, seemingly, everything in this moving drama. He struggles with the relationship with his daughter, with his art and with the mental mechanisms that make it difficult for him to be part of the world that the rest of us live in. A tour de force of familiar faces who play dazzlingly in this life-affirming film about all the big and difficult things in life.

Directed by Nicolaj Kopernikus, From Above leans on a strong ensemble — Nicolaj Kopernikus, Emilie Kroyer Koppel, Lene Maria Christensen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
