Open Hearts received a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes movie review website.[1] Susanne Bier received the International Critics Award at the 2002 Toronto International Film Festival "for the fact that it proves that dogma has come of age and matured into a potent cinematic language that skillfully captures the freeing of real emotions that extreme trauma creates within the lives of the characters in her film."[2] The film won both the Bodil and Robert awards for Best Danish Film in 2003.[3]
