The Danish Doll Test offers a thought-provoking glimpse into children's perceptions of beauty and race through the lens of a simple choice between dolls. The atmosphere is almost clinical, yet there’s an underlying tension as these kids grapple with their selections. It’s fascinating how the film mirrors the 1940s American experiment, bringing historical context into a modern setting. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of each decision made by the children. Hassan Preisler’s direction, though understated, brings a nuanced touch that resonates. You see the innocence of childhood paired with societal influences, which is pretty distinct when looking at the broader documentary landscape from that time.
