An Imdb score of 6.5? Come on - that would normally suggest a pleasant film, nice to watch with a few twists and turns that keeps tension going. And, when directed by Bille August, normally he makes good films. The setting, the scenery, the history it's set in and the story all have so much to tell. But this film does nothing to me. So predictable from the first 15 minutes and on. On and on and on it goes. It never leaves page 1. This must be what it looks like when someone's put a sleeping pill or two into Bille August's coffee - or could it be he is on his way into dementia. Or maybe both ....
I won't suggest anyone to spend as much as one minut on this film. I wasted 2 hours. It's 2 hours of my life I will never get back.
