duncan p (Just a disclaimer: this review is based on 180-minute cut, which was broadcast as a miniseries, rather than the 113 minute feature film cut - so there is a pretty big difference in the amount of content). The book is, in essence, a philosophy textbook with a rather odd postmodern framing story, so I wasn't sure what to expect from a film adaptation. Indeed, it wasn't nearly as deep when it came to the philosophical information, and an absolutely literal adaptation would never have worked, but it does a damn fine job in adapting, and is actually quite entertaining. It doesn't substitute the book by any means, but it's a great supplement that makes the framing story come alive much more. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member La película tiene una historia simple pero intrigante. La "magia" detras del filme esta en recordarnos algunos datos importantes sobre la historia, pero creo que eso hubiera estado mejor en un documental. Las actuaciones me parecen buenas, algunas destacables, principalmente Siljie Storstein (Sofie Amundsen) y Tomas von Bromssen (Alberto Knox). Como documental es excelente, pero como película nos queda a deber un poco. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are going to watch this long (although decent) film, I recommend you read the book instead. Unless you're studying Norwegian and need the listening practice, or you're 12 years old. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Entras completamente en el mundo de Sofía y comienzas a preguntarte si tu vida es real o eres parte de la imaginación de alguien más, la película incorpora los aspectos históricos de la filosofía al desarrollo espiritual de la protagonista. Me encantó. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
