Jacob Møller debuts with a thought-provoking, rarely strange and uniquely watchable film about the tragic fate of three women in the 1950s. Madame Ida is an extremely fine debut film. The ending is a bit too wrapped up in unresolved issues, but the path to it is particularly worth watching. --Bo Tao Michaëlis, Ekkofilm
