Kunsten å tenke negativt

This film concerns the rehabilitation of people who suffered severe disabilities in their lifetime. They form a support group under the guidance of a council worker who tries her best to keep them thinking positively. I felt the premise threaded similar ground as to Someone flew over the Cuckoo's nest - this time however with the patients having their comeuppance.

This group try to influence a quadriplegic new comer who is filthy mean, rich and most of the time intoxicated!

By the end everyone is sort of changed by one means or another but not by positive thinking! Hence the title.

I found almost all characters having a mean streak in them and somewhat egotistical in nature that impeded me from warming up to this film. Having said that the characters are well drawn out and very well acted. It is not predictable and the film is about the journey that the protagonists undergo.
