I felt that this film had a problem with the lack of story.

Somehow the film starts brilliantly and there is a brilliant scene with a teenager boy who has, at the least to say, a lot of problems.

Those were the brilliant parts of the film. I thought after the first 15 minutes, that this is going to be a masterpiece, but then it just dies. The plot vanishes and somehow the ending doesn't give enough to justify the lack of the plot.

The main actor does a fantastic job and there is a lot of good in the cinematography, although I sometimes felt that this was an advertisement of Norway. There were so many landscape shots that you could easily get bored with them.

The music choice was also a little bit odd. It sounded like a country-tune coming straight from Texas. Do people like country music in Norway? Even with it's problems, it is a nice film to watch as an voice from Norway.

I had a big problem with this film. There were a lot of nice scenes, but the film way too long. It didn't go further and I felt that I was watching more a documentary than a controlled fiction film.

What the film was trying to say about old people, I already knew.

I thought that the small kid in the picture was not believable and the scene at the hairdresser felt like it was from another movie.

There were good things in the film also. I have to admit, that the main actor did a nice job.

But somehow it was easy to guess what was going to happen in the film. It was somehow too obvious.

I think it was an overrated film and should have been at least 15 minutes shorter. Or the should be more things to fill the story.
