    8 / 10

    In the 1930s depiction 'The Unruly', Malou Reymann takes us to the seemingly idyllic island of Sprogø, where women who did not fall in line lost the right to their own lives and bodies.

    The director is passionate about their subject and the film, which is set in the women's prison on Sprog\u00f8, evokes thoughts of the classic 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.

    6.6 / 10

    It is a story we have seen before. There is a hero, an antagonist and so on. But there is something more that needs to be added. We owe it to the victims to tell their story but in a stronger film.

    The Danish 'The Rebels' are hard to shake off

    6 / 10

    Malou Reymans costume drama is a time machine that takes viewers to 1930s Copenhagen where ideas of racial hygiene and control of 'appropriate behavior' among women led to terrible abuses in the state's custody.
