First of all, being a Norwegian myself (studying in Denmark), I have never really been fond of Norwegian movies, until a friend of mine back home send me Hawaii, Oslo as a present.
I got a lot of mixed reaction from my friends back home that have seen this movie, (some didn't like it at all, some thought it was OK, some though it was excellent), so I didn't know whether to watch it or not, so my best friend brought it for me be to hear that i had to say about it
So, I can honesty say now, I don't understand why people wouldn't like this movie!!
This is a beautiful and very touching film. I don't know some of my friends didn't like it (maybe they're not into touching/sad films), but I saw it and I was happy, touched and merely sad in different points throughout the movie. This movie really makes you think with an open mind and I really felt for characters in the movie.
SO, a basic PLOT that doesn't give away a lot =P: It's based in Oslo and we follow the lives of various people, which was beautifully linked to bring these complete strangers together. All brought together by Vidar, who is considered as a "guardian angel".
There are a lot of critics and people that can lash out saying, they didn't like it and many saying that they did, but honestly, I just think everyone should see the film and decide for themselves whether they liked it or not.
