There was 1 review of this film that was rather biased. So I'll write nr.2.

I loved it. Looping delivers on all points of the specter. All theactors did a great job portraying what it is to live in turmoil, and the three women where well laid out without clobbering the spectator todeath with over-explanations. Kippendorff, who wrote it, also directed it, and she does know what she is talking about - plain for anyone tosee ! Each of the women, from Leila to Frenja to Ann, also understood their roles in this film. And not one of them missed a beat ! Great photography, great musical score. Like with any film about marginality,I found it hard to watch at times, but there was a positivity throughout that liviated the bad. And, to me, that is great film-making. From Norway - 10 points !

This movie was a good viewing for sure, a movie I'm thrilled I saw at least once. It's title "Looping" is fitting, given that these three women are in psychiatric help because of their looped, mundane (and, or) tragic state and cycle of their lives. The movie was filmed in aspect of the characters, leaving viewers to piece together their stories without so much literal explanation from the characters. Now, that can be a good or bad thing depending on a few things; plot direction, your enjoyment and capability of picking up body language, expressions and words that come off quite aloof or too alluding for a clear explanation (you may assume). However, I tend to enjoy these type of movies as it feels like developing a real and raw understanding of a character. There seems to be a question of direction in life, brought up between the three women. Their issues are generally relatable, as well as the bonds formed, consisting of platonic and romantic elements. There was one scene where I couldn't quite understand what was happening, and some things seemed to go amiss as the aim for this film was on other things, directors choice. But to a keen observer, there is much to uncover here.
