About This Movie

Count to 100, directed by Linda Krogsøe Holmberg, is an intriguing blend of drama and thriller that really captures the raw tension of a family on the brink. The story centers on a teenage boy and his mother, both haunted by a violent past and seeking refuge. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, mirroring their attempt to escape trauma. The small town setting becomes a kind of double-edged sword—initially presenting safety, but there's always that underlying sense of dread. The performances are quite compelling, especially the dynamic between mother and son; you can feel their fear and hope. It’s the atmosphere that lingers, though, with its practical effects subtly enhancing the emotional stakes without overshadowing the narrative.
