About Jeffrey Rex

Who Am I?

I’m Jeffrey Rex. A film and television critic and writer based in Denmark. Since 2013, I’ve been writing in-depth reviews of film and television, as well as awards season analysis, predictions, and coverage on this self-titled blog. I am a voting member of the International Film Society Critics Association (IFSCA), and I write exclusively in English on this website. In 2018, I graduated from the University of Copenhagen with a Master of Arts degree in English Studies with a minor in Film and Media Studies. In early 2026, I graduated from University College Copenhagen with a Bachelor’s degree in Education. 

I am an experienced and academically trained film and television critic, and I take great pride in analyzing, discussing, and reviewing contemporary releases, historically significant material, and the global landscape of cinema through my own academic Scandinavian perspective. Films have been a constant in my life ever since my parents showed me movies that I was probably a little bit too young for back in the day. I went on to have my own film club as a kid, and pursued education that would help me to sharpen my understanding of cinema and the reciprocal relationship between audiovisual art forms and the real world. This site is my outlet for my true passion. It is my online home.

  5. Hi Jeffrey, this is a messages from Mexico City where there are many danish cinema fans. We were following at distance most recent Thomas Vinterberg’s Druk movie in festivals, and movie theaters are always packed to the ceiling to watch Lars Von Trier’s movies. I know that this blog it isn’t only about Danish cinema and is independent and that’s why is very valuable: there are many ‘independent’ cinema critics sites disreputable.

    1. Hi Walter,

      Thank you for the nice comment. I always love to hear people’s reactions to Danish films and it makes me very happy to hear that there are many fans of people such as Vinterberg, Trier, etc. in Mexico City. While, as you say, this blog isn’t solely about Danish films, I do find great joy in telling the world about the gems of Danish cinema. Thank you very much for saying that that is very valuable.

      Best wishes to you and yours,
      – Jeffrey
