Sydney Morning Herald

It’s hard to describe the charm of this small but clamorous film. The beauty of the setting contrasts with the puny side of the people. Nature has not ennobled them.

Rated: 4/5

Everybody Hates Johan is an entertaining slice of sometimes outrageous Scandinavian storytelling.

Rated: 3.5/5

Fotogramas

A succession of anecdotes that don't shape up into something bigger, but work as a postcard collection. The lack of a final narrative lessens this fable without a dogma, yet Pål Sverre Hagen's performance is captivating. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Cinemanía (Spain)

At all times there is a bomb about to explode, from the particular to the universal, filling explosions of humor and TNT with melancholy. [Full review in Spanish]

wonderful acting and beautiful landscapes. funny in such a heartbreaking but authentic sort of way. felt like taking a peek into a small community over the years. the characters, however silly and eccentric felt very real, well rounded and grounded in the world of the film.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Kliff H

A satirical yet serious comedy in the name of norwegian small-minded-ness. To do something that breaks the chain, you will be punished. Funny and sad, far from bad.
