The story

What Is Portland About?

The premise of Portland without spoilers.

A Danish drama follows a young criminal who abandons his reckless “don’t care” credo, pulling his younger brother deeper into crime. The film promises tension but suffers from thin character work, unnatural dialogue and misplaced dialects. An increasingly surreal climax contrasts with the sluggish pacing, leaving the story’s potential unfulfilled.
