[A] high-concept comedy about middle-age masculinity in crisis.
Like the misguided men it follows, its charm is in its disorder.
the film, calibrated in passing weeks, closely tracks Anne’s efforts – greatly circumscribed and increasingly desperate – to choose her own future.
Wild Men is a reminder that Gråbøl’s still out there and killing it.

Masculinity doesn’t get more flawed and lunkheaded than in this amusing Danish excavation of midlife malaise and overgrown capering.
What makes this amiably amusing Danish comedy work is the fact that it takes its hapless protagonist almost as seriously as he takes himself.
Wild Men exhibits a gleeful relish in a man’s loss of dignity while also finding an almost childlike appeal in this endearingly clueless...
There are some very funny scenes and a reasonably tense shootout finale – though the sentimental ending felt to me like a bit of a cop-out.
