05/03/2013 http://morebareclips.com/blog/17 See more 07/10/2008 Tidvis god, takket være en håndfull gode skuespillere. Standard norsk mise-en-scene som ser billig og teatralsk ut. Ikke noe historie å snakke om, men et forsøk på å være litt Lynch og litt Jeunet rørt inn i en neorealistisk deig av norsk pretensiøsitet anno 1994. See more 04/07/2008 cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye = cross my heart and hope to die, 12 knives in my heart, in Norwegian. reminded me of Stand by Me, but without the bonding and with more family troubles See more 03/09/2008 This is one of the few scandinavian movies that are not depressing. Jan "Devo" Kornstad is just brilliant in this film! It is warm, close and sensitive. See more 03/03/2008 This is the best foregin movie ever... i mean what can i say!!!! LOVED IT See more 09/28/2007 Finally a Norwegian film with all my favourite actors and none of those idiots who show up in all the other movies. Great message, beautiful filming, and set in the same area where I grew up. See more Read all reviews
