When Klara lies about Lucas it's not that she did it deliberately, it's the love and affection that she needed badly.

Kids imagination is wild and sometimes they imagine things they saw and they connect those with the closest person they know. In this case it was lucas. There is a very thin line between black and white, when its ally grey that's where trouble escalates. Lucas was wrongly accused and treated badly by the local community for the things he never did. Its the trauma that he has to carry for the rest of his life. Mads Mikkelsen's emphatic performance just elevates the emotions of the film to another level. Director Thomas Vinterberg created a horrifying brutal story that confused for a moment to understand what is truth and what is false. In the end also you don't get resolution to the narrative but at least it's satisfying.

It forces viewers to look into uncomfortable truths and the trauma of the victim. The movie asks difficult questions about parenting , trust and society we live in and it pushes us to pursue answers in our own way and try to come to terms with it.
