Customer Reviews
Cinematic genius
Winner of many festival awards, this is a wonderful film from Norway is a beautiful and brilliant story. Perfect direction from director Erik Poppe that produces an amazing performance from the actors. The acting, directing, editing, & cinematography are all superlative. The musical score, from delicate strains of orchestral music to an incredible duo of organ and cello are just as amazing. Don't the the subtitles scare you off, take the time to watch this magical gem that seems to be so rare in today's garbage of recycled remakes.
Water, troubled
Powerful, no wasted moments, poignant
