I really like this film more each time I view it.
One of the rare films I know which takes their time to tell the story ... NO MTV-cut-style-frantic-cutting but lovingly dwelling on faces, persons, landscape etc.
Yes, maybe some of the costumes aren't 100% correct, maybe some parts of the soundtrack do irritate with their loudness, but that to me are minor flaws!
I really think they captured the "big picture" of Kristin's early life and her getting to know Erlend Nikulausson perfectly - in tone at least, even if some smaller episodes of course are missing from the film. And even the odd additions here and there I think do make sense in the context of the film!
I just hope there WILL someday be someone who with equal skill and pacing takes the other two novels to the silver screen too!
In short: one of my favorite films right now!

This is THE film for me. Partly since I´ve waited over 20 years for it to become a film, but also because it gets better with each viewing.
So much detail so lovingly displayed. And, very much like the books, with each new viewing/reading you get new detail and new understanding.
Some minor stuff still does bother me a bit, but overall (99%) a PERFECT movie for me. :-)
THANKS to all involved in the quest to make this movie!
