Featured review
Best Norwegian movie in years
I watched this movie at the first official showing and I was really, really impressed.
It deals with its serious issues in a very thoroughly and convincing manner, without ever becoming sentimental or depressing. It keeps the pace all through the movie, and the balance between the humor and the horror is subtle and touching. It has, however, rather many references to Norwegian culture, and therefore I am curious how the movie will work for an international audience.
It would be modest to say that this is the best Norwegian movie since 'Aberdeen'.
