Review of Upperdog

Upperdog (2009)
7/10
Upstairs, downstairs
7 January 2011
Two siblings from Thailand are adopted by different families. They lose contact. One of them forgets completely and one tries to. But a Polish maid functions as fate and they finally get together again. That's not uncomplicated.

The same goes for all adoptions, especially when the children come from another culture. Of course the feelings between the new parents and the children don't differ from common parents-children relations, but there ought to be thoughts. What would have become of them if they weren't brought to the new country? Some of these questions are put here, but more intriguing is the drama that takes place for other reasons with a Norwegian Afghanistan veteran involved. Clever handicraft, which doesn't get under your skin.
