'Bambieffekten' (Norwegian for 'the Bambi effect') is a pretty depressing film about two adolescent girls wanting to end their lives - for different reasons.
Fot this they join in a luxury holiday-house at a Norwegian fjord, filming each other in their common last days. And having some adventures in the process.
So far Bambieffekten's story. Its picturing is made by the girl's filming: non-professional, restlessly bumping & shocking around, only providing limited views. One surely feels that this film could have turned out much better with a more balanced picturing.
Is there anything positive about 'Bambieffekten'? Yes: its acting is convincing, and the viewer is treated with some lovely Norwegian fjord-landscapes. Further there also must be praise & respect for tackling such a rare and unpopular theme as the planning of a double suicide.
It is hardly surprising that 'Bambieffekten' failed commercially. Although the film has its flaws, it is nevertheless remarkable for its decently executed choice of theme.
