I've watched this today at Sitges Film Festival and I had a good time, but it was probably thanks to the crowd, who were doing jokes and clapping all the time.

Now let's see. The photography is really good, mostly because Norway is a beautiful country.

The film in general is really funny, and their comedy style is really enjoyable (even more if you aren't neither American or Norway).

You could call this a familiar Christmas movie, but adding it a sadistic side in the last part of the film.

About the plot, it's kind of predictable most of the time, but I've never seen a movie with an evil norway elf, i don't know if you did, but it's not exactly common (which makes it better).

One last thing, the acting was really bad, like probably the little kid was the only one who did a kind of good acting, and the Santa guy.

I recomend this movie? Yes, if you have nothing else to do.

I don't usually fall sleep watching films, but today I did.

I went to Sitges Film Festival and really had high spectations before watching the movie. And meeting the director only made them higher, Jessica Woodsworth is an amazing woman.

The photography is really amazing, the black and white gives it a great essence, the scenarios are wonderful and everything really atracts you at first. The acting thought out all the movie was really good, they made a great choice.

Now here's my problem. A main character who wants to fight an invisible (non existent) enemy, and who fails on it and also fails on the disciplines he's been input is a great theme and really interesting. But, the development of it it's just awful. The whole film feels like nothing is actuallu happening, like if you were wating for the great thing to come, and never does. Maybe a little bit less of effort on the visuals and a bit more of it in the plot would have made the film one of my all time favorites.

In conclusion, the film is too much abstract.

PS: I'm not the only one who thought this, everyone who exited the cinema was talking about the same thing.
