Original Speak No Evil Director Slams Ending of American Remake

Currently playing in cinemas, Speak No Evil, directed by James Watkins, is a remake of the 2022 Danish film with the same title by Christian Tafdrup. The response to Watkins’ film has generally been positive from both audiences and critics. However, Tafdrup himself isn’t among those expressing approval. In an interview with the Danish radio show Kulturen (via World of Reel), Tafdrup criticized the Hollywood adaptation for giving Speak No Evil a “happy ending,” suggesting that this was a reflection of a deep-seated cultural preference in America for the good guys to triumph.
