Rugged ex-convict Eddie (Kim Bodnia) and his sexy girlfriend, Maria (Maria Bonnevie), live isolated from others in their rural hideaway.

Audience Member Har en viss potential som tyvärr inte utnyttjas. Istället för att göra något av den stämning som byggts upp i början av filmen, segar det ur i oändlighet och inte ens en skäggig, lönnfet Kim Bodnia kan rädda biffen. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Quiet movie about a junkie, a criminal and a sociopath. The movie is quite intelligent, as it is based on a book, but it is possibly a bit slow and it doesn't really reach a climax. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Scandinavian snore fest with quality actors from each country who deserve better. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, great music!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Long-winded and rather pretentious film about a man with a beard. And his girlfriend, who's too young for him. And his dodgy friend, who turns up improbably to spoil their idyll. If the hamfisted synopsis someone mis-spelled their way through above right (or indeed my own equally hamfisted synopsis) grabs you, watch this movie. Personally, I wish I'd read it first, adjudged the poor summary as a reflection of the quality of the film, and saved myself the trouble. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Good movie about relationships in real life. Me like! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
