    Average

    Just not that funny, and all a bit to "over the top".

    It was way to stereotype, apart from the nature shots, I just simply didn't feel it.

    Everything what was supposed to wrong, went wrong.

    The acting wasn't superb, and the story itself wasn't something which attracted me.

    Nordish by Nature

    No pun intended - you may go with naughty ... then again, is it nature? Is it circumstances? Also can we "evolve" back? And what would that mean? The first scene itself - well the first where we see our main character walk into a store ... he is beyond money ... beyond material things it seems ... and yet he needs stuff.

    There are many things that show us that he is more than flawed. He tries things and he means well. And yet he goes way over the top - crosses multiple lines to say the least. Even in the beginning - you may find it funny (and it is a movie so it is ok to feel whatever you want to feel), but if it happened in reality .... well it would not be a cool thing to do. But again - movie, so accept it as a fun thing.

    The movie is predictable from a certain point on - but the journey is still fun. The dialog is amazing too - especially the small town ... down to earth things that are being said. You totally feel the police men who don't want to walk in the forest or get wet ... again: in real life you'd hope they would take more pride in their job ... but comedy and movie and all that. I think by now you got it ... and it is funny ... so there is that.

    Fails as a comedy

    It fails as a comedy, but as a drama its okay.

    A few scenes make you smile, but mostly its just a drama. Could have been so much better.

    You come into the movie where he already lives in the woods. Things leading up to his decision could have been extremely funny. But no.... three criminels have a car accident and one escapes into the woods and get found by the wildman. They stay together and get close, helping each other out from various situations.

    If the movie is strictly a comedy it fails completely!

    Its more a drama with a few somewhat funny scenes.

    Great film

    It's a really interesting look into what I think a lot of people may be feeling and experiencing these days. Very touching. Beautiful scenery. A bit of dark humor. Would watch again.

    • Trivia
      The Danish release was delayed after the incident in Norway on 13 October 2021 in which a Danish national shot and killed several people with arrows after an altercation in a grocery store. The film is about a Danish man in Norway, and the poster showed him standing in a grocery store with a bow and arrows on his back.
