3/4
It's a film about a voyeur, and it appeals to the voyeur in us: We don't like Roy or approve of him, but we watch, fascinated, because he lives so casually outside the rules. Go to Full Review Mike Davies Birmingham Post 02/02/2023
Director Pal Sletaune fuses a blackly comic thriller with an offbeat unsentimental love story, laced with a vein of cruel humor and grim cynicism to first class effect. Go to Full Review Film Threat 12/06/2005

07/21/2013 Odd black comedy from Scandinavia See more 05/26/2013 Dirty film filled with so much negativety it's funny. Short, and fittingly so. It's few or none unnecessary moments. At times very funny with much help from fantastic charcters. This film is a lot like "You really got me", maybe with a hint of Leigh's "Naked" as well. Often bizarre and strange but always entertaining. Probably Sletaune's best flick, but it's close to mentioned "You really got me". An odd black comedy that's definitely worth a shot of you like that kind of stuff. 7.5 out of 10 barf stains. See more 02/02/2010 Kanonbra,Norsk lowlife har vel aldri vært skildret med større varme enn her.Helt fantastisk historie,og knall karaterer hele veien.HELT NYDELIG om norsk white trash! See more 04/09/2009 One of the best Norwegian movies ever made. See more 03/07/2009 an odd little Norwegian movie. i was surprised when i found this to be a dark comedy rather than the usual drama i expected. the scene with the drug addicts robbing the mail man was hilarious beyond belief.
