Bridgend (film)

Bridgend is a 2015 English-language Danish drama film directed by Jeppe Rønde and written by Rønde alongside Torben Bech and Peter Asmussen. The film is based on the Bridgend suicide incidents. The film had its World Premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and its North American premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, at both of which it was highly acclaimed; in the latter, it received three awards, including Best Actress for Hannah Murray. The general reviews have been mixed to positive, with Metacritic giving an average score of 53 out of 100 points, counting nine reviews.[1] The film was viewed in Wales however as sensationalist, lacking truth and exploitative against the dead teenagers.[2][3]
