I love this film, it has a great warmth. It is a piece of artwork which is astoundingly beautiful, where the colorful graphical creation blends well with the well composed music. The setting is interesting and innovative, especially by the unpredictable turns it takes.

There is a clear message in the film and for cold persons who don't care for other thing than themselves it is probably a menace, but I really liked it. With the numerous films preching violence, destruction and revenge as method, it is wonderful to see one of the few where non-violence and caring in a larger sense is suggested. It is a film where even a great warrior might choose to get him-/herself insured to avoid unnecessary bloodshed. The film does not simplify and demonize the "bad guys" - these are shown as complex figures who do what they see as the right thing in the situation they are in. Although fantasy, the film does tell a lot about the complexity of human conflicts and other "big issus".

This is a movie that starts being funny the very first scene and then it continues more or less in that fascion all the way through. A bit bizarre and unconventional but in my opinion that only adds to be positive.

Overall good acting, except for some random side role. The two main actors wonderfully portait the dragged-along "Him" and the very impulsive, free-minded and dominant "Marianne".

The movie took perhaps one turn to many in some subjects and got a bit repetitive. I my opinion it was just on the right side of that balance, it could not have been very much longer though.

This is probably the best romantic comedy I've ever seen. I had a smile on my face all the way home from the cinema, and that is none less than 6 km on a bike through icy streets.
