Armand 2025 Movie Review

A mother, played by Renate Reinsve, is called to the school because of an incident involving her son Armand and his best friend.

Written and directed by Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel, the film offers a good premise, one that manages to capture your attention as well as its beginning when we share Elisabeth’s intrigue as to what happened with her son. Once in the school, she meets with the other boy’s parents and the school personnel, and information is delivered, allowing us to grasp the extent of the dramatic event Armand is accused of.

The problem with the movie is that a theme like this rarely allows for a runtime close to two hours. Sure, as long as the story progresses, it is clear its aspirations go beyond its initial premise. But the execution, the way to tell what it wants, is very ineffective and will keep you anxiously waiting for this yawn-fest to end.

It is full of peculiarities that might strike as funny or strange: people hysterically laughing when the subject being talked about is of a serious matter, people dancing out of nowhere in the school corridors resembling bad performance art, etc.

Renate Reinsve delivers another good performance, as well as the rest of the cast, but besides that and the cinematography, Armand has little to offer other than a regret to go back in time and choose another movie to watch.
