Audience Member En fin film om to halvsøsken som blir skilt etter å ha blitt adoptert til Norge. Han til Oslo vest, hun til en gjennomsnittsfamilie på Oslos østkant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm always attracted to norwegian films to get some "lights" about this society... but to be honest, this one in particular, didn't give any to me. I think the director's point was to reflects what's going on with the foreigners in this country, and their interaction with the locals, but (under my point of view) with no success... actually I found it very unreal. Let's wait a little bit and see who dares to tells in movie format what's the situation uncovered and unveiled honesty. Contact me if you need tips haha Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It didn't show anything new, the story has been told before. It's a slow, enjoyable movie that can be predictable at some points, but that doesn't matter. I liked it to the fullest. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastiska personporträtt, lite hastigt slut. Fint spel. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Two sibblings are adopted by Norwegian families and separated. One of them forgets the other and we other wants to forget. But a Polish maid in one of the families has a fate function here. Another story about how our pasts hunt us and finally hit us. And this past also hits the young Afghanistan veteran filled with guilt and bad memories. The script is more intelligent than it sounds and the directing by Sara Johnsen is sensitive with much of the story being told by eyes and face expressions. Good acting by Mats SjögÃ¥rd Pettersen and Agnieszka Grochowska. An emotional picture which doesn't change our ways of viewing much, but we don't walk out untouched. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Eh.. I don't know what to say about this one. I only understood 50% of it. It wasn't very exciting though. It was nice, but not very exciting. It's very similar to other movies with covers of many faces (think about this one). Happy ending though, so if you're into that, go for it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
