    its different thatīs for sure. but in my case it was a good different, what really caught my attention is the suffering and problems the characters deal with, how every human acts differently when they reach the bottom. good story, weird ending, greeaat narrator.

    Excellent! Kind of reminded me of Transamerica, but slightly darker, while still having a bit of froth to it as the title suggests. Both the leads are good in this, but I was particularly impressed with David Dencik who plays Veronica.

    I so much enjoyed this Danish black comedy. Its beauty and humour combined were perfect. One of my Danish favourites definitely!

    A sweet and fun story with good performances. Is a bit handicapped by it's mockery of soap-operas, since there are very little evolvement in this story. Good thing it's only 90 minutes then.

    I like soap. I like cleanliness. I doubt this is clean.

    Isn't this a remake? or, is it I am just remembering a title of a sitcom show that didn't stay for a long time? At any rate, it seems that this could be an entertaining movie.

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Christensen joylessly scrubs A Soap clean of sudsy silliness until all that remains is Von Trier-ian starkness. full review
