"Hawaii, Oslo" is great, moving, well-acted and brilliantly directed.
I think it's a film about learning to love and be loved. About choices, about forgetting what one did in the past and moving on. About both accepting one's Reality and sacrificing oneself for the good of others...
The narrative is not linear, but we can understand the story easily. All pieces come together when the credits roll, and although it's a very pungently moving film, there is a sense of Hope throughout the whole thing.
All the stories within the story are finely woven, there are no plot holes. The characters are quite believable and every scene has a purpose.
I'm planning to see it again (saw it at a Nordic Cinema Showing in my city) to try and absorb it better.
