Globe and Mail Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times 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. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Mike Davies Birmingham Post 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.

Audience Member Odd black comedy from Scandinavia Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best Norwegian movies ever made. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Norsk film hevet seg noen hakk med denne... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
