Totally outstanding movie, from my point of view. Maybe it's hard for people in general to understand, but for me who is born and raised in a very small, similar place as the scenery for this movie, I recognize so much of the typical behaviour when someone stands out and are a little different from the "normal". In Norway that is really not ok.. and you will be looked upon as a weirdo, no matter what you do. I watched this movie at the cinema with my daughter, and we both had the very best time, and both agree that it is the best norwegian movie we have ever seen!
This movie gives the famous "Jante" a solid kick in the balls. The joy of life is to be honest to yourself and do whatever makes you happy. It also helps to watch such a hunk playing the main character ;) 11 of 10!
