The principles that would inspire the French Revolution first took practical shape in Denmark in the 18th century. The ideas of Voltaire arrived there with Dr. Johann Struensee (Mads Mikkelsen), a German physician who was hired to care for the deranged King Christian VII (Mikkel Boe Folsgaard), and eventually took very good care indeed of his comely new queen from Britain, Queen Caroline Mathilde (Alicia Vikander). They convince her husband to take everyday command of his kingdom, inspiring reforms alarming to the conservative establishment. Directed by Nikolaj Arcel. - Three and a half stars
