By the time it is over, "Disco" has crossed the line that separates being productively ambiguous from being simply cryptic.

Disco is a riveting film about being denied support by those who feign to offer it but fail, and the opportunities available to a young woman whose options are limited and shrinking rapidly.

Strange, surprising and increasingly unnerving...

Film Threat

Disco is about how toxicity seeps into everything from masculinity to religion to parenting and, yes, even dancing. It's as beautiful and heartbreaking as watching a dancer pirouette into an abyss.

Rated: 8/10

The Film Experience

Disco is far too repetitive and its point of view remains as opaque as Mirjam's psychology. It's not enough, always, to merely observe.

Rated: C

Seventh Row

Frida uses her physicality to show how uncomfortable Mirjam feels, shifting her limbs and holding herself awkwardly. You can tell she'd do anything to get away from here, but she doesn't know how or what 'away' even means.

Fanny's L

As usual with norwegian movies, it tries to tell a story without telling anything at all, with too many dead moments. There is no real aim or purpose to this movie, other than following the main character, Miriam, whom we are supposed to like even though the only thing we know about her is that she seems to be a very well-liked and succesful girl in a Free Church Cult ran by her family. Eventually we realise that her life kind of sucks, despite being so succesful on the surface, and that the ones who *should* offer her support fails to do so, and just blames *her* for her shortcomings. When the movie has gone on like this for a while and finally nears the end, she seeks out another cult and it's just more of the same empty promises made but lack of actual support. The end.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
