This was one of the movies I was most looking forward to at our local international film festival. But it disappointed. It went the route of being quirky for quirky's sake, rather than build up three dimensional characters. (This has been a growing problem with a segment of recent Scandinavian comedies, unfortunately.)
Minor note. The story turns out to be based on a real case, and at the end of the movie, they showed pictures of the actors next to pictures of the characters -- period pictures when they had them. It was impressive how hard the filmmatkers worked to match the looks of the real characters.
