| User ReviewBjørn SThe best norwegian movie ever! I loved it from start to end. So funny!!! :-D Skikkelig bra :-) |
| User ReviewJens TBrilliant Norwegian movie about people with their own personal demons. Don't be scared of the subject -- this film is funny, too. If you can get your hands at on it, it's definitely worth a watch. |
| User ReviewCanem Cthe first Norwegian movie I've ever watched. Pleasantly surprised by its multi-lingual content and kinda multicultural issues. The movie brings up the real life conflicts and reasonable solutions, which makes it a quite light movie overall. Pretty good acting as well. Extra credit for Norwegian production |
| User ReviewAlberto ZEh.. I don't know what to say about this one. I only understood 50% of it. It wasn't very exciting though. It was nice, but not very exciting. It's very similar to other movies with covers of many faces (think about this one). Happy ending though, so if you're into that, go for it. |
| User ReviewKimmo J[R&A 2010] Meinasin kirjoittaa että taas laatudraamaa Tanskasta, mutta tämähän tulee Norjasta. Orpokodista pelastetut sisarukset joutuvat toisistaan erilleen saapuessaan Norjaan, mutta 'kasvettuaan' aikuisiksi heidän elämänsä taas risteävät ja nuoruuden solmut avautuvat. Tämä draama on toimivaa ihmissuhdedraamaa, lapsuuden kokemusten erikoista tukahduttamista, mutta sisarusten pariutuessa tahoillaan kuitenkin koskettavaa - silti ei kovin vakavaa, mutta leppoisan helposti katsottavaa. Pitää laittaa ohjaajatar korvan taakse. |
| User ReviewTor MMy first norwegian movie ever, not bad at all...... the idea of the story is absolutely brilliant, stuff like adoption, foreigner, asian Culture, and local culture are some bases of the story, too bad the plot is a little bit boring, and somehow I saw it like there's a missing link (scene) that should've been shown more on that movie, esp. the romance part hehehhe.... but overall it's just okay for me.... |
| User ReviewJohannes JI enjoyed this film for the most part. It was a good little drama from Norway. Good acting and production values. |
