David K Misunderstood. A man let down by the society he oh-so wants to be a part of. To be accepted. A puzzle piece in the wrong board. Never the right shape or size. Truly captivating loneliness and how bleak the colors look before his very eyes. No happy endings. No Rom-Com movie. Just a realistic portrayal of life in itself. The protagonist does a fantastic job of having the true essence of the actions of man, isolated from humanity. Even when he was so close to having everything, it just falls through. I think this is one of the better movies I have seen in a very long time. No critiques, no complaints. A man who just wanted friends. A man who wanted a life. A man who wanted to be human. Thanks to those who have read my first ever review. I hope that this finds you well and you put aside some time to watch this film. I hope that this does not emulate your life, or at least not for very long. I wish you, the viewer/reader, and the cast the best of luck on your endeavors. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Delectable. Astonishing performance by the principle lead. Credible. Witty. Touching Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Tony S Conventionally this would have been a straight comedy about a reclusive and awkward man with a heart of gold and nothing else to offer, coming out of his shell because he met the love of his life. But in this character study, there is no remedy for the people like Fusi. Chances are, the person, that can soothe loneliness of shy, obese manchild is as damaged as him. In a somber, typically Scandinavian cold tones with melancholic soundtrack, movie tells the audience, that there are no miracles and no one can save a person from their pointless routine, since it's more likely, that someone who would even talk to Fusi, themselves need saving. The only change in your life can come from within you. I don't think anyone would want to be in Fusi's place. Yet from his outlook on life much can be learned. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/21 Full Review Audience Member A guy in in his mid-forties is still living with his mom. He is a virgin, overweight and is bullied at work. He's hobbies are pretty geeky and he have few friends. People is thinking he's a freak and a weirdo and few knows that he has a heart of gold. He get's involved in a lady and this change his life a lot. There are plenty of feelings here, some positive, some negative. A great film with a feelgood-vibe that shines through all the bleak low-life actions. I like the story a whole lot and the actors do deliver. The directing is great and the development is supersmooth. It's not easy to predict and this little gem is another example of great Icelandic moviemaking. Genuine and unfiltered, intimate and powerful, yet very subtle. 8.5 out of 10 remote cars. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A film about the loneliness of a 43 year old man who goes through various bad situations that are very related to most of our experience in this cruel and monotonous world. Intimate and soulful. Beautiful masterpiece !
