In "kollektivet", people's inferiority, indifference, hypocrisy, and selfishness are manifested one by one, while morality does not work. When the rules meet authoritarianism, they are forgotten, and they have to be treated with the same tolerance as the heroine in order to retreat. The movie scene is not so cold, it has a lot of comedy elements, and these comedy jokes also show the inferiority of people. The movie shows how muddled the life of this group of people is. The education that people receive, about morality and about responsibility, does not work here. Everyone's inferiority is on this stage, living in a muddle-headed manner, and it is so real. The ending is not so happy, it is more cruel and closer to reality. In summary, the film is not Thomas Winterberg's most complete and mature film. It is flawed, that is, the director has a slight shift in the character portraits of the surrounding groups and the feelings of the husband and wife in the script. But it reveals a deeper social implication. The reality is cruel, and it won’t get better because of the overwhelming sense of justice, but fortunately, he found a way out for you this time ()

The main spiritual core of "kollektivet" is love and freedom, both in the context of drama and visual, it is very close to the 1970s when sexual liberation was advocating. The film is a bit similar to "Under One Roof" by Swedish director Lucas Moodysen and "Ice Storm" by Ang Lee. However, compared with the previous two, "kollektivet" looks a little softer and sweeter, and it also looks more optimistic compared with those cold works before Winterberg. The entertainment of the film is almost the same as that of a TV movie, but the quality is quite good. There are brilliant dialogues, wonderful and wonderful group plays in the film, which are obviously different from the director's previous film style. But as a serious movie, its power is still relatively limited. This time, the social environment and political metaphors are not hidden in the movie, and there is no feminist interpretation. The pattern of the film's transition from joy to sadness is teary, but the handling of character changes is slightly rough. The film uses a lot of hand-held photography close-up shots with a strong sense of scene, and the color texture is biased towards the classic atmosphere of nostalgic postcards. The music with a sense of time and the unparalleled singing of Elton John give the film a lot of points. In general, "kollektivet" is a good-looking, but not sharp work ()
