Detektywi z Departamentu Q – zajmującego się nierozwiązanymi i przeterminowanymi sprawami – próbują rozwikłać makabryczną zbrodnię sprzed lat. Choć rzekomy zabójca został skazany, na policję zgłasza się świadek, który rzuca nowe światło na dawno zamkniętą sprawę. Podejrzani – byli uczniowie prestiżowej szkoły z internatem – aktualnie należą do elity duńskiego społeczeństwa. Detektyw Carl Mørck i jego asystent Assad muszą rozwikłać zagadkę i znaleźć sposób na pociągnięcie do odpowiedzialności prawdziwych morderców. Czy pomoże im w tym bezdomna Kimmie, niegdyś uczennica tej samej ekskluzywnej szkoły, która była zamieszana w tajemnicze wydarzenia sprzed lat? (Kino Świat)

Unnecessary prejudice. The Absent One is a typical quality Nordic film with both a good story and a solid atmosphere. The actors are likable, the pacing is pleasant, the story is engaging, there is a pleasing amount of unease and violence, and the climactic finale is the clear highlight of the film. 75%

Department Q is more sophisticated and sweeping than The Keeper of Lost Causes and has more interesting supporting characters. Only the awkward plot development in the form of an escape from the cell before the climax spoils the impression of a first-class crime film. And the climax itself could have been longer and more dramatic.

The previous movie was a bit more demanding. It was a little bit more difficult to get used to the investigator duo. In the sequel it got a lot easier. And despite the fact that the two main actors didn’t showcase a lot of emotions due to the gloomy story, the result was more than interesting. During the whole two hours, I was watching so intensely that it was as if I was watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo again for the first time, which is exactly what I needed from a Scandinavian crime investigation. An excellent story, a gloomy environment, complex characters… what more could I want? I can’t wait for the next movie.

The tense and overwrought nature of its peripeteias, characters and twists found in The Absent One goes beyond the boundaries on common genre trash to the level of superficially gloomy and coarse comic books for would-be adults. And that’s not even to mention the exploitatively poisonous venting of aggression toward the golden youths and higher social circles, which are depicted here as a rabble of amoral perverts and sadists that make the bad guys from Garth Ennis’s cult films look good. The narrative agitatedly piles up their deviant excesses so viewers can vent their anger in a properly plebs-satisfying medieval spirit.

I like that the world of Department Q isn't embellished, everything dirty and vulnerable. That's why I was surprised at times by Kimmie's toughness, I couldn’t believe the kind of things she could handle, until it seemed almost out of place in this down-to-earth crime drama. But it actually didn't distract me to much while watching. It's more that I still can't get used to the pacing of the narrative in Nordic films (I've only had a chance to watch a couple of them so far, but each time they felt much longer than they really were). Definitely not a bad film; if you like dirty crime dramas, just jump right on in. A better 3 stars.

When I read the reviews of the book, I was sure that it would be something I could enjoy. In the film version, this is not quite true. The characters are good and entertaining, but the stories don't captivate me as much. I think a lot more could have been made of this, but it just didn't work in the film. Still, I'm curious about the next film.
